Why are we tending a community farm?
Lyndon B. Johnson Hospital serves an area of Harris County known as a food desert. A grocery store
may be two bus trips away for many residents and too expensive once they get there.
That means our patients and neighbors are unable to fill their families' basic needs for fresh,
wholesome produce. That's a community health issue we decided to do something about.
Partnering with organic agricultural experts, we built a farm in our own backyard. We use it to teach
people to grow their own fruits and vegetables. And to offer fresh, free produce—and better health—
to our entire community.
This is the future of healthcare.
