Byenveni nan Preventive Food Pantry nan Boston Medical Center! Kreye an 2001, Food Pantry travay pou adrese maladi ki gen rapò ak nitrisyon ak sou-nitrisyon pou pasyan ki gen ti revni nou yo. Li ranpli espas sa a terapetik lè li konekte doktè ak nitrisyonis ak pasyan yo. Founisè swen prensipal BMC yo refere moun ki gen bezwen nitrisyonèl espesyal bay gadmanje manje a ki ekri "preskripsyon" pou manje siplemantè ki pi byen ankouraje sante fizik, anpeche maladi nan lavni epi fasilite rekiperasyon an. Pantry a souvan itilize pa pasyan ki gen kansè, VIH / SIDA, tansyon wo, dyabèt, obezite, maladi kè ak lòt kondisyon kwonik.
Fanmi yo ka vizite Food Pantry chak de semèn (maksimòm de fwa pa mwa) epi resevwa twa a kat jou manje pou kay yo chak fwa. Yon karakteristik kle se pwovizyon machandiz ki ka gate, tankou fwi ak legim fre ak vyann pandan tout ane a - atik ki souvan koute chè epi kidonk souvan manke nan rejim yon fanmi ki pa gen anpil revni. An 2017, Preventive Food Pantry te bay 83,288 pasyan yo ak moun lakay yo manje (yon mwayèn 6,941 chak mwa).
Pantry Manje a ouvri lendi rive vandredi ant 10:00 AM ak 4:00 PM. Se kat manm pèsonèl ki jere li ak anpil volontè gadmanje manje. Manadjè Pantry a se yon Teknisyen Dyetetik ki anrejistre, ki kalifye pou detèmine ki manje ki koresponn ak bezwen dyetetik yon pasyan, jan yon doktè BMC preskri. Manm pèsonèl gadmanje yo pale kat lang e yo te esansyèl nan ede anpil pasyan refijye ak imigran BMC yo.
Founisè Swen Prensipal yo dwe fè tès depistaj pasyan yo epi refere yo bay Food Pantry la.

Welcome to the Preventive Food Pantry at Boston Medical Center!
Created in 2001, the Food Pantry works to address nutrition-related illness and undernutrition for our low-income patients. It fills the therapeutic gap by linking physicians and nutritionists to patients. Individuals with special nutritional needs are referred to the Food Pantry by BMC primary care providers who write “prescriptions” for supplemental foods that best promote physical health, prevent future illness, and facilitate recovery. The pantry is often used by patients with cancer, HIV/AIDS, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, heart disease and other chronic conditions.

About the Program
Families can visit the Food Pantry every two weeks (maximum twice per month) and receive three to four days’ worth of food for their household each time. A key feature is the provision of perishable goods, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and meats all year round—items that are often costly and therefore often lacking in a low-income family’s diet.
In 2017, the Preventive Food Pantry provided food to 83,288 patients and their household members (an average of 6,941 monthly).
The Food Pantry is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is managed by four staff members and many food pantry volunteers. The Pantry Manager is a registered Dietetic Technician, qualified to determine what foods correspond to a patient’s dietary needs, as prescribed by a BMC physician. Pantry staff members are fluent in four languages and have been essential in assisting BMC’s many refugee and immigrant patients.
Patients must be screened and referred to the Food Pantry by their primary care provider. Please see below for instructions for placing referrals using Epic.
