Rx for Health: Clinical Nutrition Support

Patients who are at risk of developing chronic health conditions receive a prescription for fresh produce at the Hāna Health farm stand. Transitioning to a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help prevent the onset of diabetes, high blood pressure and other chronic conditions.
