Inside a New Nutrition Center with Veronica Clarke (part 2)

This is part 2 of a mini-series with Veronica Clarke, CEO of TCA Health, Inc. in Chicago. Veronica is back to talk about a new nutrition center breaking ground this August to address urban food deserts. Our guest shares their vision of the trailblazing nutrition center, that will provide fresh and healthy food options through a grab-and-go café, a choice food pantry, and community gardens. This center will not only cater to nutritional needs, but also offer a holistic approach with safe spaces for yoga, meditation, community gatherings and recreation

The excitement extends to unique features like a zen garden and a green rooftop space, creating a safe and welcoming environment for all community members. We discuss the importance of community engagement, the collaborative planning process, and the anticipated impact of the upcoming Red Line extension in Chicago. Despite initial funding challenges, unwavering community support and innovative design promise to transform the community’s access to wellness and healthy living.
