Food is Medicine Program

Since 2016, Sustainable CAPE has created innovative Food is Medicine programs in which doctors refer patients at risk of chronic disease on Cape Cod. Upon enrollment, participants receive medically-tailored bags of fruits, vegetables and lean protein delivered throughout their enrollment period. We provide nutrition education and materials to facilitate dynamic and healthful meals. Patient surveys document & measure how increased access to fruits and vegetables positively impact health. Our partners include Outer Cape Health Services, Duffy Health Center, and Community Health Center of Cape Cod. Read More…
