Registration is now open for the Franciscan Health Produce Prescription Program in Olympia Fields, which aims to assist with chronic disease management.
Upon successful completion of the free, four-week program, participants will receive produce vouchers for fresh produce every month for six months.
Participants must have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, heart disease or cancer and have moderate to high food insecurity as determined by a screening process and complete a four-week Cooking Matters course. They need not be patients within the Franciscan Health system to participate.
The program will meet weekly at Franciscan Health Olympia Fields, 20201 Crawford Ave., GME 2 Room in Olympia Fields for four weeks on Mondays from 11 a.m. to noon beginning April 28 and concluding May 19.
The deadline to register is April 21. To register and for more information, contact Justin Davis at [email protected] or 708-855-7692.
The Produce Prescription Program is made possible in part through donations to the Franciscan Health Foundation’s Food Insecurity Fund. For more information or to donate, go online or call 708-852-2430.
