FoodFARMacy
The CHS&I team plans to intentionally provide tailored and nutrient-dense produce to BIPOC program participants experiencing food insecurity and/or a chronic disease. The Food as Medicine program is based on studies that show the effectiveness of providing nutritious foods to individuals for overall health and recognize and respond to the critical link between nutrition and chronic illness. The uniqueness of this program lies in HHMM’s ability to harness hospital resources in providing a whole-person approach to health in targeting the intersection of prevention and treatment.
