In 2017, she implemented the first produce prescription program in Upper Michigan (U.P.) with patients in her FQHC-primary care practice. Her patients flourished and this experience taught her how food could be a conduit for connection and a catalyst for health. With support from the Portage Health Foundation and the Blue Cross Blue Shield Foundation of Michigan, she received a Physician Investigator research award which allowed her to evaluate outcomes of the program as well as involve a medical student in the research. She presented findings from the pilot program at various conferences and was involved in a U.P.-wide “Food is Medicine” learning network. The research from her pilot program was published in the Journal of Health Promotion Practice in 2022.
