Lakewood Ranch Medical Center (LWRMC) has established a partnership with Chef Judi Gallagher to bring health and wellness to the kitchen and local communities. You will find Chef Judi at The Market on Sundays outside of LWRMC, getting her steps in at the Mall at University Town Center (UTC) with the Fit to Walk program, and presenting cooking demonstrations at the LWRMC Mommy and Me Tea Party. In addition, Chef Judi will be partnering with local LWRMC physicians to start a “Cooking with a Doctor” video series and many more innovative initiatives for 2020.

40 Years of Culinary Experience

“It is an honor and a privilege to become part of the healthy environment that Lakewood Ranch Medical Center offers," stated Chef Judi Gallagher. "Together, our forward positioning for culinary education will be broad to help so many people learn what foods are best and how best to cook them. How exciting to be able to offer cooking classes, cooking videos and appearances at so many innovative events.”
