With access to fresh locally grown vegetables a continued challenge for many people, a new initiative at the<\/em> Kingston Family Health Center offers patients easy access to ripe fruits and just harvested vegetables. Twice a month, patients who visit the clinic can pick up bags of free produce matched with recipes curated by Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KINGSTON –<\/strong> Frankie Lawyer\u2019s recent trip to the Kingston Family Health Center was not exactly routine. He was greeted at the clinic entrance with a folding table packed with tote bags filled, to his surprise, with fresh vegetables. Peering inside, Lawyer discovered cauliflower and broccoli heads, a bowling ball sized squash (he\u2019d later learn it was kabocha–a winter melon), tomatoes, garlic, peaches, and a carton of plums. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smoothies are a favorite of the Kingston resident who boasts about his creations and his new blender. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI make smoothies — all sorts of smoothies,” said Lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He loves vegetables; supermarkets are a go-to for vegetables but he\u2019s limited by transportation. His main mode of transport is his bicycle and then taxi come winter. \u201cThis program is very helpful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh vegetables and fruits are part of the mix.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

He was one of dozens of patients that morning who left the center after routine exams with a bag of produce. The 25 bags were rapidly gone. It is estimated that the bags feed some 40 individuals and 22 households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative, also known as the Local Produce Prescription Program, first launched in July at the Kingston Family Health Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how it works: patients can pick up a free bag of fresh produce when they visit the center. No questions asked. The bags include health information (some recent ones themed around diabetes or heart conditions), and a booklet of recipes curated to match the vegetables\/fruits. Since its inception, the Hudson Valley Farm Hub and a handful of other farms in the region have consistently donated produce.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe whole idea is to bring healthy food and fresh food, I also have patients who say \u2018I don\u2019t eat a single vegetable a week.\u2019 Even to get them to get to eat one vegetable a week is a success,\u201d says Asha Sarnacka a lead care navigator at the Kingston center, who came up with the idea for the program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is one thing to tell people what they should eat but it\u2019s another thing if they can\u2019t afford it. We are teaching people how to eat well so they can take good care of themselves and their children. We are what we eat,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year Sarnacka was given an opportunity to develop a special project. It did not take her long to come up with the idea of distributing fresh produce to patients fueled by personal passion and as a form of community outreach. She was driven to do so by her clients whose struggles include the basic necessities of food, housing, heat, water and often transportation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The center, one of 30 in the tri-state area and mid-Hudson, is run by the Institute for Family Health with headquarters in New York City. The Institute\u2019s website notes that its policy is to not turn anyone away even if they lack health insurance, and they work with a sliding scale. The majority of the 98,000 clients it serves tend to be members of the underrepresented community, many with disabilities and limited income. The Kingston center includes general practice, behavioral services and dental care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not the first time the Kingston health center has engaged in free food distribution for patients. In 2020 it partnered with Kingston YMCA Farm Project to hold a \u201cfree farm stand,\u201d which ran from July through October. The farm stand provided free vegetables for the community in response to the growing need for fresh and local food seen at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The produce was grown by the Farm Hub and Kingston YMCA Farm Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarnacka\u2019s inspiration for the program came from seeing a need from her clients, and also seeing the opportunities to connect food programs with patients and patient navigators who could spread the word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarnacka is a nutritionist by training, motivated by \u201csharing good food with community.\u201d In 2019 she joined the Institute as a diabetic navigator and was promoted to lead navigator where she oversees dozens of caseloads. Many of the patients she serves have diets virtually void of fresh vegetables and fruits, especially organic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Sarnacka received the greenlight from her supervisor she went into action and started reaching out to farms in early 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Farm Hub responded enthusiastically to Sarnacka\u2019s request for support. The Institute for Family Health is only one of dozens of organizations that the Farm Hub donates to on a regular basis. Others include Catholic Charities, Community Foundation, the Kingston YMCA Farm Project, Tilda\u2019s Kitchen and People\u2019s Place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Scott, Distribution Manager at the Farm Hub, says the initiative aligns with the Farm Hub\u2019s mission. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of our primary goals is to increase food access to food insecure communities here in the Hudson Valley,\u201d Scott says. \u201cWhile the majority of our donations are channeled into the emergency feeding system, for whatever reason not everyone who needs food is able to access that network of food providers. Partnering with the Institute for Family Health in this way allows us to extend our reach beyond the typical emergency feeding system and to get good, healthy food into the hands of people that need it most.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of the end of October the Farm Hub has donated 264,084 pounds <\/strong>of food, including vegetables, beans, corn and flour, to the emergency feeding system. All produce is certified organic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the goal of incorporating health and wellness into the program, Sarnacka also reached out to Marsha Sebro, the nutrition educator at Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County (CCEUC), to partner on providing information on diet and nutrition to patients. Sebro sees the program as a win-win for all stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"

\u201cWith the support of Farm Hub and other area farms, I\u2019m able to partner with IFH during their fruit & vegetable distribution. We offer healthy recipes and information on free nutrition lessons. Distributing fresh fruits and veggies at a healthcare site is a brilliant way to encourage patients to eat healthier. It reinforces wellness recommendations from their healthcare team, and they don\u2019t have to make an extra trip to the supermarket,\u201d Sebro says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the program\u2019s beginning, the produce giveaway has been a success, and typically the stand draws a queue of people. During a visit all of the patients who we spoke with said they were pleasantly surprised to receive organic produce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt looks good, very nice,\u201d says Cathy Malloy of Kingston as she peered inside the bag at the vegetables. \u201cOrganic is healthier, but organic is very expensive nowadays.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As for the program, Sarnacka says she\u2019s surprised by how quickly it has taken off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s working really beautifully,\u201d says Sarnacka. \u201cWe wanted to build a community and people are very excited and very surprised. We see their beautiful smiles — we live in a world that there aren\u2019t many opportunities where we get things for free.\u201d In some cases, patients have turned down the free produce noting that they are in the financial position to purchase food and it might be better served giving it to someone in greater need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Farm Hub and area farms donate to the Local Produce Prescription Program. <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

At least three other farms in the Hudson Valley region have joined the bandwagon to donate produce. On produce stand mornings, Sarnacka\u2019s office transforms into a packing warehouse of sorts filled with crates of fruit and cardboard boxes of vegetables. Sarnacka bags vegetables along with colleagues amid banter and laughter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program will continue as long as there are donations; Sarnacka expects the need for vegetables will escalate during the winter months when transportation is most challenging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s great to have local partners who share our commitment to promoting the health of community residents,\u201d says Dr. Wesley Ho, MD, medical director of the Institute\u2019s Kingston Family Health Center. \u201cThe Farm Hub project supports an important goal of the Institute for Family Health and the Kingston Family Health Center — after all, so much of keeping people healthy happens outside of the doctor\u2019s office, and fresh produce is an essential ingredient. We would love to expand this project to all of our centers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarnacka\u2019s vision is that the initiative in Kingston will be year round and eventually incorporate nutrition education and cooking classes. And there are future plans to extend to other locations in the Hudson Valley.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A native of Poland, Sarnacka grew up in a culture where it was commonplace to shop for fresh food daily. Culturally there was an emphasis on fresh, locally produced and homemade foods. It is little surprise that gardening and cooking are her personal passions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At home she and her 8-year-old son tend to the garden. She continues, \u201cI truly believe in \u2018do what I say see what I do,\u2019 I am also a gardener and we eat from the garden and I love to cook and I understand how important it is to health.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, at the Kingston Family Practice a single bag of produce can also serve as platform for paying it forward. After the produce pickup in late September, Frankie Lawyer found success with a new smoothie recipe. \u201cIt was a plum, peach and apple smoothie and I gave some to my elderly neighbor, she loved it,\u201d he says, eyes lighting up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Allocca, the unofficial chef at the Hummels Boarding Home for men in Kingston, picked up a couple of bags. The broccoli and cauliflower provided a base for a pasta dish and fruit was served for dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey liked it, it\u2019s not what they are used to,\u201d he says. A typical diet for many of the residents is \u201ccereal in the morning, sandwiches in the afternoon and then the one hot meal.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of farm stand days, Allocca says, \u201cit works out great and the guys love it, so when we see something like this it\u2019s like a little gift for them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una cl\u00ednica de salud de Kingston ofrece a sus pacientes acceso a vegetales frescos locales.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Acceder a vegetales frescos de cultivo local sigue siendo un desaf\u00edo para muchas personas, pero una nueva iniciativa del Kingston Family Health Center ofrece a los pacientes acceso f\u00e1cil a frutas maduras y verduras reci\u00e9n cosechadas. Dos veces al mes, los pacientes que visitan la cl\u00ednica pueden recoger bolsas de productos frescos gratuitos, junto con recetas seleccionadas por Cornell Cooperative Extension de Ulster County.<\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

KINGSTON –<\/strong> La visita reciente de Frankie Lawyer a Kingston Family Health Center no fue exactamente de rutina. Al llegar a la entrada de la cl\u00ednica le sorprendi\u00f3 encontrarse ante una mesa plegable llena de bolsas llenas de vegetales frescos. Al mirar en ellas, Lawyer vi\u00f3 coliflor y br\u00f3coli, una calabaza del tama\u00f1o de una bola de bolos (que luego aprendi\u00f3 que era kabocha–un mel\u00f3n de invierno), tomates, ajo, duraznos, y una cesta de ciruelas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los batidos son una de las cosas favoritas de este residente de Kingston, que nos habla de sus creaciones y su nueva licuadora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYo hago batidos \u2013 todo tipo de batidos, dijo Lawyer, con brillo en los ojos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le encantan los vegetales; puede conseguir vegetales en los supermercados, pero tiene limitaciones de transporte. Su medio de transporte principal es su bicicleta y luego los taxis en invierno. \u201cEste programa es muy \u00fatil”, dijo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fue uno de las docenas de pacientes que salieron del centro esa ma\u00f1ana despu\u00e9s de sus citas de rutina con una bolsa de vegetales. Las 25 bolsas desaparecieron pronto. Se estima que las bolsas alimentan a unas 40 personas en 22 hogares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La iniciativa, tambi\u00e9n conocida como el Programa de Receta de Vegetales Locales (Local Produce Prescription Program<\/em>), empez\u00f3 en Julio en Kingston Family Health Center.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funciona as\u00ed: los pacientes pueden recoger una bolsa de productos frescos gratuitos cuando visitan el centro. Sin preguntas. Las bolsas incluyen informaci\u00f3n de salud (algunos temas recientes fueron la diabetes o las afecciones card\u00edacas), y un folleto con recetas espec\u00edficas para los vegetales y las frutas de la entrega. Desde sus inicios, Hudson Valley Farm Hub y algunas otras granjas del \u00e1rea han estado donando productos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLa idea es traer comida saludable y alimentos frescos, tambi\u00e9n tengo pacientes que dicen ‘no como un solo vegetal en toda la semana’. Conseguir que coman un vegetal fresco a la semana ya es un \u00e9xito”, dice Asha Sarnacka, la asesora principal de atenci\u00f3n en el Kingston Center que tuvo la idea inicial del programa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Una cosa es decirle a la gente lo que debe comer, pero es otra cosa si no pueden permitirse el costo. Estamos ense\u00f1ando a las personas a comer bien para que puedan cuidar bien de s\u00ed mismas y de sus hijos. Somos lo que comemos”, dice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A principios de este a\u00f1o, Sarnacka tuvo la oportunidad de desarrollar un proyecto especial. No tard\u00f3 mucho en tener la idea de distribuir productos frescos a los pacientes, motivada por su pasi\u00f3n personal y como m\u00e9todo de hacer alcance en la comunidad. Vio que era muy necesario para responder a las situaciones de sus clientes, que a menudo incluyen las necesidades b\u00e1sicas de alimentos, vivienda, calefacci\u00f3n, agua y, a menudo, transporte.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El centro, uno de los 30 en el \u00e1rea triestatal y en el Medio Hudson, est\u00e1 gestionado por el Institute for Family Health con sede en la ciudad de Nueva York. El sitio web del Instituto indica que su pol\u00edtica es no rechazar a nadie, aunque no tenga de seguro de salud, y trabajan con una escala m\u00f3vil. La mayor\u00eda de los 98,000 clientes a los que atiende tienden a ser miembros de la comunidad subrepresentada, muchos con discapacidades e ingresos limitados.\u00a0 El centro de Kingston incluye servicios de medicina general, servicios conductuales y cuidado dental.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Esta no es la primera vez que el centro de salud de Kingston distribuye alimentos sin costo para sus pacientes. En 2020 colabor\u00f3 con Kingston YMCA Farm Project para establecer un “puesto de granja gratis”, que se extendi\u00f3 de julio a octubre. Esta tienda proporcion\u00f3 verduras gratuitas para la comunidad para responder a la creciente necesidad de alimentos frescos y locales durante la intensidad de la pandemia de COVID-19.\u00a0Los productos fueron cultivados por el Farm Hub y Kingston YMCA Farm Project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sarnacka tuvo la inspiraci\u00f3n para este programa al ver la necesidad de sus clientes, y tambi\u00e9n al ver las oportunidades de conectar los programas de alimentos con los pacientes y los asesores de pacientes que pod\u00edan difundir la informaci\u00f3n.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sarnacka tiene formaci\u00f3n como nutricionista, y la motiva \u201ccompartir buenos alimentos con la comunidad”. En 2019 se incorpor\u00f3 al Instituto como asesora sobre diabetes y fue ascendida a asesora principal, supervisando docenas de casos. Muchos de los pacientes a los que atiende tienen dietas en las que los vegetales y las frutas frescas, especialmente los org\u00e1nicos, est\u00e1n pr\u00e1cticamente ausentes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una vez que Sarnacka recibi\u00f3 la luz verde de su supervisor, entr\u00f3 en acci\u00f3n y comenz\u00f3 a comunicarse con las granjas a principios de 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

El Farm Hub respondi\u00f3 con entusiasmo a la solicitud de apoyo de Sarnacka. El Institute for Family Health es solo una de las docenas de organizaciones a las que Farm Hub dona regularmente. Otras incluyen Catholic Charities, Community Foundation, Kingston YMCA Farm Project, Tilda\u2019s Kitchen y People\u2019s Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Scott, Gerente de Distribuci\u00f3n de Farm Hub, dice que la iniciativa se alinea con la misi\u00f3n del Farm Hub.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Uno de nuestros objetivos principales es aumentar el acceso a los alimentos para las comunidades con inseguridad alimentaria aqu\u00ed en el Valle de Hudson”, dice Scott. “Si bien la mayor\u00eda de nuestras donaciones se canalizan al sistema de alimentaci\u00f3n de emergencia, por diferentes razones, no todas las personas que necesitan alimentos pueden acceder a esa red de proveedores de alimentos. Colaborar con el Institute for Family Health de esta manera nos permite extender nuestro alcance m\u00e1s all\u00e1 del t\u00edpico sistema de alimentaci\u00f3n de emergencia y podemos poner alimentos buenos y saludables en manos de las personas que m\u00e1s lo necesitan”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hasta finales de octubre, el Farm Hub ha donado 264,084 libras de alimentos, incluyendo vegetales, frijoles, ma\u00edz y harina, al sistema de alimentaci\u00f3n de emergencia. Todos los productos est\u00e1n certificados como org\u00e1nicos..\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deseando incorporar la salud y el bienestar en el programa, Sarnacka tambi\u00e9n se comunic\u00f3 con Marsha Sebro, educadora de nutrici\u00f3n en Cornell Cooperative Extension de Ulster County (CCEUC) para proporcionar informaci\u00f3n sobre dieta y nutrici\u00f3n a los pacientes. Sebro opina que el programa es un beneficio para todas las partes interesadas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Con el apoyo de Farm Hub y otras granjas del \u00e1rea, puedo colaborar con IFH en su distribuci\u00f3n de frutas y vegetales. Ofrecemos recetas saludables e informaci\u00f3n sobre clases de nutrici\u00f3n gratuitas. Distribuir frutas y vegetales frescos en un centro de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica es una forma brillante de animar a los pacientes a comer de una manera m\u00e1s saludable. Refuerza las recomendaciones de bienestar del equipo m\u00e9dico, y no tienen que hacer un viaje extra al supermercado”, dice Sebro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desde el inicio del programa, el reparto de productos ha sido un \u00e9xito, y por lo general se forma una fila de personas en el puesto. Durante una visita, todos los pacientes con quienes hablamos dijeron que fue una buena sorpresa recibir productos org\u00e1nicos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTiene buen aspecto, muy bonito”, dice Cathy Malloy de Kingston mientras miraba los vegetales dentro de la bolsa. “Lo org\u00e1nico es m\u00e1s saludable, pero lo org\u00e1nico est\u00e1 muy caro hoy en d\u00eda”.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

En cuanto al programa, Sarnacka dice que le sorprendi\u00f3 lo r\u00e1pido que ha despegado.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Est\u00e1 funcionando muy bien”, dice Sarnacka. “Quer\u00edamos crear comunidad y la gente est\u00e1 muy emocionada y muy sorprendida. Vemos sus hermosas sonrisas — vivimos en un mundo en el que no hay muchas oportunidades de obtener cosas gratis”. En algunos casos, hubo pacientes que rechazaron los productos gratuitos diciendo que est\u00e1n en una posici\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica de comprar alimentos y que podr\u00eda ser mejor que se los den a ora persona con m\u00e1s necesidad.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Una visi\u00f3n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Al menos otras tres granjas en la regi\u00f3n del Valle de Hudson han subido a bordo para donar productos. Las ma\u00f1anas de distribuci\u00f3n, la oficina de Sarnacka se transforma en una especie de almac\u00e9n de empaque lleno de cajas de fruta y de vegetales. Sarnacka prepara las bolsas de vegetales junto con sus colegas entre bromas y risas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El programa continuar\u00e1 mientras haya donaciones; Sarnacka espera que la necesidad de vegetales aumentar\u00e1 durante los meses de invierno, cuando el transporte es m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Es genial tener colaboradores locales que comparten nuestro compromiso de promover la salud de los residentes de la comunidad”, dice el Dr. Wesley Ho, MD, director m\u00e9dico del Kingston Family Health Center del Instituto. “El proyecto de Farm Hub apoya un objetivo importante de Institute for Family Health y de Kingston Family Health Center — despu\u00e9s de todo, gran parte de mantener la salud ocurre fuera del consultorio del m\u00e9dico, y los productos frescos son un ingrediente esencial. Nos encantar\u00eda expandir este proyecto a todos nuestros centros”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La visi\u00f3n de Sarnacka es que la iniciativa en Kingston dure todo el a\u00f1o y eventualmente incorpore educaci\u00f3n nutricional y clases de cocina. Y hay planes futuros para extenderse a otros lugares en el Valle del Hudson.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nacida de Polonia, Sarnacka se cri\u00f3 en una cultura donde comprar alimentos frescos a diario era com\u00fan. En la cultura eran importantes los alimentos frescos, producidos localmente y caseros. No es de extra\u00f1ar que la jardiner\u00eda y la cocina sean sus pasiones personales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En casa, ella y su hijo de 8 a\u00f1os cuidan su jard\u00edn-huerta. Dice, “Realmente creo en dar ejemplo, ‘mira lo que hago’. Tambi\u00e9n soy jardinera y comemos de nuestra huerta y me encanta cocinar y entiendo lo importante que es para la salud”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por \u00faltimo, en Kingston Family Practice, una sola bolsa de vegetales tambi\u00e9n puede servir como punto de inicio para m\u00e1s beneficios. Despu\u00e9s de recoger sus vegetales a finales de septiembre, Frankie Lawyer tuvo \u00e9xito con una nueva receta de batidos. “Era un batido de ciruela, durazno y manzana y le di un poco a mi vecina mayor, le encant\u00f3”, dice, con los ojos brillantes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Michael Allocca, el chef no oficial en Hummels Boarding Home para hombres en Kingston, recogi\u00f3 un par de bolsas. El br\u00f3coli y la coliflor sirvieron de base para un plato de pasta y la fruta se sirvi\u00f3 de postre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Les gust\u00f3, no es a lo que est\u00e1n acostumbrados”, dice. La dieta t\u00edpica para muchos de los residentes es “cereales por la ma\u00f1ana, s\u00e1ndwiches por la tarde y luego una comida caliente”.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De los d\u00edas del puesto de distribuci\u00f3n, Allocca dice: “Funciona muy bien y a los chicos les encanta, as\u00ed que cuando vemos algo como esto es como un peque\u00f1o regalo para ellos”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
