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
