Past Grants

The Prescription for a Healthy Pontiac program will facilitate and create a culture of healthy eating and physical activity within families with children and/or seniors, reduce loneliness and social isolation among seniors, and strengthen community relationships. This initiative goes beyond traditional clinical practice and employs social prescribing to connect these families with children and/or seniors to health education programming, fresh fruits and vegetables, and physical activity opportunities in Pontiac and the surrounding area. The overall goal is improved health behaviors and food security among the individuals/families served.
