Produce Prescriptions
Produce prescription (PRx) programs allow health care workers to prescribe fruits and vegetables to patients who meet specific criteria. Such patients might have chronic diseases and lack access to nutritious food.
Our partners at the Swetland Center have partnered with Better Health Partnership and Produce Perks Midwest to provide workshops and technical assistance. Local clinical sites* that want to create a new produce prescription program or enhance their existing program can receive support by emailing reach@case.edu to schedule a TA session.
