New prescription for healthy living

New prescription for healthy living

The Veggie Rx program in Minnesota is helping patients at local clinics access fresh fruits and vegetables as part of a USDA-funded initiative to support disease prevention. By providing produce prescriptions, the program aims to improve overall health outcomes and strengthen the connection between patients and their healthcare providers.
