Grove Park Produce Rx
Produce Rx
What is a produce prescription program? Put simply, a produce prescription program sees food as medicine, and allows doctors to "prescribe" fruits and vegetables to their patients. These prescriptions can take different forms, such as redeemable vouchers, subscription services or boxes of produce at designated locations. Currently Grove Park does not have a produce prescription program, but we're hoping to build one soon! Take a look at our project timeline.
Scroll down to see the major benefits of produce prescription programs, and how we hope our produce prescription program will look in the future!

To the right is a diagram of how a Produce Prescription Program works behind the scenes. All Produce Prescription Programs are a collaboration between the community, its healthcare providers, and produce providers.
*Although the Grove Park Foundation is currently leading the advocacy for a Produce Prescription Program, and will support its partnerships, it will not be responsible for managing nor funding the partnership.
