Improving patient health by prescribing healthy foods

“We have a high-value, low-cost health care solution. It’s called food,”
– Matt Habash, President and CEO of Mid-Ohio Foodbank

Mid-Ohio Foodbank has partnered with healthcare providers to look into to reducing chronic health conditions by providing patients with prescriptions that give them more frequent access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Read more in the Columbus Dispatch about the Mid-Ohio Farmacy Program.
