MKHC hosted its first nutrition education class for participants in our Food as Medicine program, which combines weekly produce access, medical monitoring, and nutrition education aimed at helping participants manage conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Our five-part class series, led by a bilingual certified diabetes educator, aims to build healthy habits, improve health literacy, and share practical, culturally relevant tips and meal ideas to incorporate more fruits and vegetables.
Each class participant took home a bag of fresh produce provided by Community FarmShare, our partner for the FAM program, to supplement the fruits and vegetables they receive at CFS's weekly mobile markets.
