Metro Hospital Fresh Stop

This video features the Buckeye-Metro Fresh Stop, a collaboration between Metro Hospital and City Fresh. Located on the east side of Cleveland, the Fresh Stop brings fresh vegetables from local farms to residents of one of many neighborhoods in Cleveland that struggle with healthy food access. The staff at Metro Hospital use the Fresh Stop as a mechanism to provide both food access and education in nutrition, healthy lifestyle, and preventative health care. This shows one of many examples of how residents and institutions can collaborate in a neighborhood to improve healthy food access. Produced by Brad Masi, David Pearl, and Tom Kondilas, the makers of the film PolyCultures: Food Where We Live.
