In an effort to assist UMHS families with food allergy related issues that may arise, members of the UM Food Allergy Service are available to provide presentations to schools, preschools and places of worship. Programs would cover the fundamentals of food allergy, anaphylaxis, prevention strategies and the impact of the diagnosis on daily life. In some cases, there may be geographic limitations to our ability to do community outreach sessions. Also, scheduling would have to be made with as much advanced notice as possible.

In the future, we hope to create a series of classes for UMHS patients/families. These sessions would cover food allergy related issues such as labeling and parenting concerns. Speakers and facilitators would include physicians, nurses, nutritionists and social workers.
