Carissa Coorough, PA-C

Carissa is excited to be a part of the Food for Life team! She started her plant-based journey in 2022 and hasn't looked back. She became a believer in using food to improve health after the changes she and her family experienced. With her background in medicine, she knew that most healthcare providers are not taught about plant based nutrition and the benefits associated with it. Everyday she saw patients who were wanting to improve their health and just needed guidance on how to get started. While she left the medical field to focus on her family, she wanted to still share the benefits of eating more plants with her patients and community. She is excited to provide classes and teach members of her community about the power of plants!
