Watch to learn about a new program started by Covenant HealthCare Partners called “Physicians Feeding Families,” which aims to assist individuals experiencing food insecurity.
Physicians Feeding Families offers a bag of non-perishable foods to patients in need of emergency food assistance while they are at their primary care physician’s office—no questions asked. Food insecurity is considered a major public health concern and is linked to preventable chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and poor mental health.
So far, more than 450 bags of food have been delivered to 28 participating offices within Saginaw, Bay, Tuscola, Huron and Sanilac counties since the start of the program in July.
