Partnership in action! 💗💚

We’re proud to see the Food Is Medicine Choice Pantry continuing to make an impact in our community! Through the collaboration of the Tea Rose Community Collaborative, Saline Memorial Hospital, and the Arkansas Foodbank, we’re helping connect individuals and families with access to nutritious food and resources that support healthier lives.

It’s exciting to see this work highlighted on KARK 4 News and to continue serving Saline County in meaningful ways. Food is medicine, and service is at the heart of what we do! 🌱🥕💚

Food is more than fuel. For many patients managing chronic health conditions, it can be an important part of their care.

Our CEO, Char Boulch, recently joined KARK 4 News to talk about the new Food Is Medicine Choice Pantry at Saline Memorial Hospital and how this partnership is helping connect patients with healthy food and nutrition resources.
