Circle Purpose:
This Circle aims to understand and improve the connection between our food system and healthcare system, advocating for local food sourcing in nutrition initiatives. We are a group of health providers, clinic employees, and interested residents looking to identify individuals and institutions who would benefit from programs like “produce prescription.”
Current Activities
Produce Prescription: Program for those who would benefit from home delivery of fresh food from local producers that is medically appropriate for those with dietary restraints due to acute or chronic illness
Identifying potential institutional partners and recipients
