Nourishing Change Conference
Join a cross-industry movement where consumer voice meets system-level change and where ideas turn into action.
Founded by Kroger Health, the movement unites leaders across science, retail, health systems, policy, technology, equity, and community to create real change in how America eats, shops, works, and heals. Each sector plays a crucial role, and each stands to benefit from being part of the movement.
Be part of what comes next.
“When customers come to our stores, whether it’s for prescriptions, care visits or groceries, they should leave with more than what they came for. They should leave nourished.” – Jim Kirby, CCO of Kroger Health
“Getting new perspectives through ongoing dialogue, innovation and collaborations empowers us to keep thinking bigger…” – Jim Kirby, CCO of Kroger Health
