Interdisciplinary Partnership Improves Health Outcomes in Oconee County

Highlights VeggieRx, a partnership between Clemson Rural Health, local nonprofits, and a health clinic in rural South Carolina. Eligible program participants had clinical measures taken at the beginning and end of a six month period. In between, patients received 2 boxes of free produce each month along with recipe cards for the items in the box. In addition, patients participated in a cooking demonstration and nutrition class once a month. Clemson students are involved in providing support for the program including translating materials and presentations for the primarily Spanish speaking population.
