Fresh food is being prescribed by doctors to cure ills.
"Folks, good morning, and welcome to the ribbon-cutting and opening of the Fresh Food Pharmacy," intoned Sam Balukoff, the master of ceremonies at Geisinger Health System's recent debut of a new food pharmacy located on the grounds of a hospital in central Pennsylvania.
Such an inspiring initiative! Fresh food as medicine shows how simple lifestyle changes can improve health outcomes. Programs like this remind me of platforms such as DoctiPlus that also focus on wellness and preventive care for healthier living.
