JMU, health officials announce $1.97M Central Shenandoah Maternal Produce Prescription Program

James Madison University and the Central Shenandoah Health District have launched a $1.97 million initiative to provide pregnant and postpartum women with monthly fresh produce vouchers and nutritional education. The program, which begins in 2027, requires a referral from a healthcare provider and aims to improve maternal and infant health outcomes by addressing food insecurity.

HNH Insight
