Karen Dewey, a dedicated nurse practitioner at the VA SALT LAKE CITY HCS, has seen firsthand how access to fresh fruits and vegetables transforms Veterans’ health. Many of the Veterans she cares for struggle with chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and nutritional deficiencies - issues that are deeply impacted by diet. Yet, for many Vets, fresh produce doesn’t fit in their budgets. That’s where the VHA Fresh Connect Pilot Project comes in.
