Just Roots

电子游戏靠谱注册 has been working collaboratively with this local farm since 2016 to connect patients to healthy food. For two years our two organizations worked together on a research project around diet quality and access to farm shares. 不良的饮食质量是发病率和死亡率过高的主要原因，比任何其他风险因素造成的死亡人数都多, and over 10% of all disability-adjusted life years in the US. Improving diet quality is a public health priority and a key goal of chronic disease prevention efforts. Further, 美国人口在饮食质量上存在显著差异，社会经济地位较低的群体往往饮食质量较差，并承担不成比例的饮食相关疾病负担. Despite progress in improving overall diet quality in the last decades, socioeconomic disparities in diet quality have increased. 该研究试图确定补贴的CSA份额是否可以改善饮食相关疾病高危人群的饮食质量.

Baystate Franklin Medical Center

The Baystate Franklin Medical Center is a critical community partner for hospital services, 然而，电子游戏靠谱注册还共同开展了一个独特的开创性项目，以增加获得紧急牙科服务的机会，并努力将牙科急诊从提供护理费用高得多的医院急诊室转移出去, and the outcomes ineffective at preventing future dental pain and suffering.

Behavioral Health Network

Another valued behavioral health partner, BHN and 电子游戏靠谱注册 are about to embark on a co-location within 电子游戏靠谱注册’s newest facility in Orange, MA, opening in fall/early winter 2021.
