Healthcare providers give eligible patients a written prescription for $25 worth of fresh produce per week for 15 weeks. Participants are given the freedom to select their own produce from a farm stand at the clinic site or from a local farmers\u2019 market. (Each participating clinic has the autonomy to run the program slightly differently, but this model is recommended over a produce box distribution model.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All participants are also automatically enrolled in a six-week nutrition education class led by a <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.wvu.edu\/food-health\/nutrition\/fnp\">West Virginia University Extension Family Nutrition Program<\/a> educator. Participation in these classes is optional but highly recommended.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Biometric data, including weight, blood pressure, lipid profiles, and hemoglobin A1c levels, are collected by the healthcare providers on-site at the healthcare clinic during the first and last week of the program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How they do it:<\/strong> The program is currently available in 24 counties and is based on four distinct pillars to which all participating clinics must adhere:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Increased access to fresh, locally grown produce and opportunities for interaction with growers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nutrition and culinary education<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A medical provider who identifies eligible patients and provides a written prescription for fresh produce<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A standardized data collection system to demonstrate the program\u2019s impact<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the West Virginia growing season, most clinics run the program from June through October. The <a href=\"https:\/\/agriculture.wv.gov\/\">West Virginia Department of Agriculture<\/a> helps clinic sites identify local farmers to provide produce for the program, and clinics may use a local produce aggregator when it is not possible to partner with a local grower. The farmers generally set up their produce stand once a week, at the clinic or another location within the county. The growers themselves are available to give participants more information about how the produce is grown and how to prepare it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nutrition education classes follow the <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.wvu.edu\/food-health\/nutrition\/fnp\/direct-education\/eating-smart-being-active\">Eating Smart, Being Active<\/a> curriculum, which focuses on diet quality, physical activity, food safety, food security, and food resource management, and includes cooking demonstrations, physical activity, discussions, and hands-on activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mission:<\/strong> To provide improved access to nutritious, locally grown food, basic nutrition education, and cooking skills to help prevent and treat chronic disease in West Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Major Funding: <\/strong>Previous funders include grants from the <a href=\"https:\/\/dhhr.wv.gov\/Pages\/default.aspx\">West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/one.walmart.com\/content\/walmartmuseum\/en_us\/timeline\/decades\/1970\/artifact\/2555.html\">Walmart Foundation<\/a>, private insurance, community benefit dollars, and local philanthropic groups, with assistance from the <a href=\"https:\/\/agriculture.wv.gov\/\">West Virginia Department of Agriculture<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/wvfarmers.org\/\">the West Virginia Farmers Market Association<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wvu.edu\/\">West Virginia University<\/a>, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/extension.wvu.edu\/\">West Virginia University Extension<\/a>.
