Abstract

Food Insecurity and access to healthy food is a large health care issue in the United States, Vermont, and Chittenden County. This project aimed to educate health care providers at Colchester Family Practice about food insecurity to increase the amount of patients screened for food insecurity. The project also investigated local resources for people with food insecurity and made this information available to providers so they are better able to help people struggling with food insecurity.
