| Description: |
The proposed Produce Prescription Program will create a mechanism to connect a community healthcare clinic operated by Westside Family Healthcare with services provided by the Food Bank of Delaware to encourage at-risk families to incorporate higher levels of fruits and vegetables in their diets as a means to lessen the risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. Through the program, Westside’s clinic located in Wilmington will issue prescriptions for fresh produce for food insecure patients. |
