This website collects resources for integrating food access with health care. It is organized for use by Vermont-based practitioners. There is a lot of reference material & not a lot of pictures. We have added a site index to help with navigation. If you are having trouble finding a specific resource, send us an e-mail. (Please note that we do not have tailored resources for states outside of Vermont).
