Come fill your Food Rx at our Food Pharmacy program! Marin City is a food desert: there is no grocery store in our community, and the closest supermarkets are costly Mollie Stone in Sausalito or Good Earth in Mill Valley. Largely because of poor access to healthy food, 75% of Marin City residents are overweight and at an increased risk for developing heart disease. This partnership with the SF Marin Food Bank aims to address both problems, providing patients with healthy fresh and dried goods, and education on how to manage heart disease through food distribution, nutrition education and cooking demonstrations.
