The title of the Princeton-Mercer Regional Chamber’s annual community health symposium on May 9 is “Fitting the Mind: The Intersection of Nutrition and Mental Health.”
The event, held at Grounds for Sculpture in Trenton, is designed to provide attendees with valuable insights, lessons learned, and discussions about future trends in the healthcare industry. The event will also provide networking opportunities as business leaders, community representatives and health care providers from across the tri-state will attend.
