The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the feasibility, perceptions, and impact of a collaborative food prescription…October 2019Services & Programs
- Housing is a major pathway through which health disparities emerge and are sustained over time.

A central theme that resonated throughout these workshops was the importance of social determinants of health and their relationship to health disparities.…January 2019Social/Structural Determinants
