Marking its third anniversary on May 5, the Food4Health program has grown from its inception at Hartford Hospital to include clinics at the Institute of Living and Charlotte Hungerford Hospital, plus farms at CHH, Windham and Backus hospitals.

The program has helped 900 patient families in nearly 13,000 visits and 130 Hartford Hospital colleagues in 1,400 visits, distributing more than 2.5 million pounds of healthy, nutrient-dense food.
