Mass General Brigham Community Health Programs
We connect thousands of people each year to preventive health education, free health screenings, school partnerships, and community outreach through our community health programs. These programs pay particular attention to health and wellness issues affecting children in local schools, the elderly, women, and other diverse populations—helping prevent diseases and the factors that cause them.
Food as medicine: Treating chronic disease
Having enough to eat doesn’t always mean the same as eating foods that promote well-being and could prevent or treat some diseases.
Our Food Is Medicine strategy encourages people to see the benefits of nutrition from food the same way they view medical care. We provide services in our communities that both screen for food insecurity and help eliminate neighborhood barriers to healthy foods.
