The Lunch Lab & Public Health on Capitol Hill

What's up in public health this week?Zac Hummel, Community Impact Manager at the Food Bank for Larimer County, joins us to talk about The Lunch Lab, a program that provides free, nutritious meals to school-aged kids during school breaks and throughout the summer. The Lunch Lab food truck travels to libraries, parks, neighborhoods, and other community locations, helping ensure that young people have access to healthy meals when school is not in session. Kimberly Baker, LCDHE's Health in All Policies Coordinator, is back to give us an update on the 2026 Colorado legislative session. She provides an overview of bills that passed that will impact public health policy, how the state's budget crisis impacted public health funding, and what she expects to see in the next session.Resources:The Lunch Lab: https://foodbanklarimer.org/lunch-labLarimer County proposed data center regulation feedback: https://www.larimer.gov/spotlights/2026/04/23/proposed-data-center-regulation-feedback-neededDo you have a question about public health in Larimer County?
