Community Health

For many patients, managing their health starts long before they see a doctor. It starts with access to fresh food, education and support they can rely on. Through Presbyterian’s Community Health programs, your giving helps remove barriers that stand in the way of better outcomes.

The Food Farmacy Program connects patients to nutritious food, hands-on education and a supportive environment where they can take charge of their health. In 2025, the program expanded to Presbyterian Rust Medical Center, reaching even more families in Rio Rancho with fresh produce and practical guidance from a registered dietitian. This work is part of a broader Community Health effort focused on meeting patients where they are and supporting healthier lives across the communities Presbyterian serves.

Because you give:

• 1,063 patients participated in the Food Farmacy Program

• 160,749 pounds of fresh food were distributed to patients

• A new full-time Community Health worker position was funded

  
  

Your support brings care beyond clinic walls and into everyday life, where it matters most.
