South Central NY Produce Prescription Program
Health Care Providers
The Health Care Providers who prescribe the Produce Rx program serve as the main link between program participants and the program itself. Their dedication to their patients’ health and well being is the backbone of the success of our program.
How it Works: Clinical Piece
- Healthcare providers screen for eligibility and enroll participants
- Participant attends 3 visits over six – eight months (in-person or remote)
- Participant receives $120 in vouchers per visit, up to $360 or enrolls in a CSA/Farm Share for up to the same amount.
