Farmacy Monroe
Affliated with Farmacy WV
Embarking on the FARMacy journey at Monroe Health Center means joining a mission of change. West Virginia, unfortunately, is at the forefront of chronic diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. But through our partnership with the WVU Extension Office and the wider FARMacy WV initiative, we aim to turn the tide.
The FARMacy program opens doors to affordable, fresh produce and food preparation education, specifically designed for patients battling chronic diseases. Our pilot program in Union, WV, is just the beginning.
2024 enrollment for FARMacy WV is open! Secure your spot today by connecting with your MHC provider or by calling us our clinic at 304.772.3064 to see if you qualify.
How it works
FARMacy is a 15-week health initiative giving selected patients a $25 weekly ‘Prescription’ for fresh produce, redeemable at the Union Senior Center’s Farmer’s Market. This program, targeting patients whose health could benefit from fresh produce, will be extended to all MHC service areas in the future.
