Local effort to expand nutrition access pays dividends for patients
A local initiative by Fairview Health Services called Fair Table provides free food resources to patients facing food insecurity, improving health outcomes for individuals like 69-year-old Kamee Yang. The program, part of Fairview’s 'Food is Medicine' approach, partners with Urban Roots to expand community gardens and food access in Minnesota, where nearly 1 in 10 residents are food insecure.
