🥕 Did you know? The Franciscan Center’s MedStar Food Rx Program is helping put healthy food within reach for Baltimore families.
The program officially launched back in November in honor of National Diabetes Month, providing access to nutritious food and health-focused resources every Monday and Tuesday from 10 AM–1 PM at The Franciscan Center.
We had the pleasure of working with our incredible media friends to help share the story and spotlight this important program!
