“The Clemson University College of Behavioral, Social and Health Sciences (CBSHS) has received funding from the USDA Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program (GusNIP) to launch a produce prescription and nutritional education intervention program for income-limited patients living with Type 2 diabetes in Abbeville County.

CBSHS and Clemson Rural Health are partnering with Abbeville Area Medical Center, United Christian Ministries of Abbeville County free clinic, and Feed and Seed – a Greenville based food hub that prioritizes locally sourced food – to evaluate the impact of the program, Fresh for Life, on participants’ health outcomes and health care utilization.”
