The Healthier YOU ProgramThe healthier you program was designed to help patients create the healthiest lifestyle possible for those who participate. It is a supplemental health and wellness plan that is available at no cost for the patients of the Free Clinic of Meridian. This program is a great way to push yourself and keep improving your overall health. Typically every month, the program consists of four events, including; vouchers to get free fruits and vegetables from the local Farmers Market, a healthy shopping trip to the Walmart Marketplace where participants get free groceries, an exercise meeting, and a class where we offer prizes and healthy snacks and medical residents teach on a health-related topic. While this program is in progress, patients are still encouraged to attend their regularly scheduled Free Clinic of Meridian appointments and have a lab done regularly. We are also able to offer transportation assistance throughout this program, and we will have special challenges throughout the year that will encourage a certain health behavior; all that participate fully will receive a special prize! |
