The Produce Prescription Program
The MCW-Prevea Family Medicine residency program has partnered with Wello (community well-being non-profit organization) and Seasonal Harvest (a local farmer collective) to provide locally produced fruits and vegetables to our clinic patients with social determinants of health needs or chronic conditions that would be improved with fresh produce. This is sponsored through a 2 year Danone Institute grant. We are currently piloting the program to determine logistics of delivery. So far the response has been excellent and we are developing the plan to expand the program into the next 1.5 years.
