Health Environment Community Development Workforce Development

Health:

• Create a Fresh Rx or Veggie Rx program in

Camden’s teaching hospitals

– Integrate into curricula – Prescribed to patients who show evidence of diet‐ related diseases (ex. malnutrition, diabetes) – Prescription slip redeemed at a nearby farmers market or participating food store.

15

Environment:

• Create a high‐value native plant nursery

for landscape/green infrastructure projects across the region

• Flowers, plants, and orchard trees have

higher value than food

• Where could it go? In a warehouse

building?

16

Workforce Development:

• Further invest in Cathedral Kitchen’s Culinary

Arts Training Program and Respond, Inc’s Program;

• Broker a food services contract with local

school districts (i.e. DC Central Kitchen)

17

Community Development:

• Loss of Pathmark (48,000 SF)

means more shortage

– “Unprofitable, lease expiring next year”

• Recommendation: Create a

year‐round farmers market in space; food business incubator; regional destination
