- Nutrition - Special attention is given to women with weight-related health issues, and to pregnant women for whom good nutrition is a must for two people, not just one. Fresh vegetables are provided, along with recipes for healthy preparation. In season the veggies are grown locally and each eligible recipient receives enough for a family of four on a weekly basis.
- Through WHN (Women's Healthcare Network), eligible women receive breast and cervical cancer screening, and cardiovascular screening. Case management is a powerful component of this nationwide program.
