1/21/25 – This past year, the board room at Ellenville Regional Hospital has been a home to community, conversations, collaborative learning, and laughter. Motivated to continue working towards their personal nutrition goals, residents of the Ellenville/Wawarsing area and patients of the Ellenville Regional Hospital’s Rural Health Network met for 10 sessions, enrolling in SNAP-Ed New York’s Fruit and Vegetable Prescription Program through the support of the hospital’s nutritionist. For their participation, group members received up to $120 in vouchers to purchase fresh produce at Peter’s Market, a local, family-owned grocery store that has taken initiative in supporting the area following the closure of a major food retailer. While access to affordable, nutritious food continues to pose a challenge to families across the country, limiting availability in communities like Ellenville, community organizations and members proceed to offer innovative approaches to address barriers and increase resources.
