March is National Nutrition Month! Nutritious foods are vital in promoting wellness, preventing disease, and healing from illness. However, many North Carolinians struggle to put food on the table, let alone to plan healthy and nutritious meals for their families. 1.2 million, or 10.9%, people in NC experience food insecurity. Of those, 1 in 6 are children. Together, we can help ensure that our patients have the nutrition they need to achieve their optimal health. Because Everyone deserves healthy food.
