COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (CED) PROGRAM

THE YOUNGSTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (YNDC) AND ITS PRIMARY PROJECT PARTNER, MERCY HEALTH YOUNGSTOWN (MERCY HEALTH), SEEK A SUPPLEMENTAL GUSNIP CRR PRX AWARD TO EXPAND THE EXISTING MERCY HEALTH FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRESCRIPTION (PRX) PROGRAM TO ADDITIONAL PATIENTS AND AT A NEW BRICK-AND-MORTAR LOCATION WITH EXTENDED HOURS, IN ORDER TO PROVIDE RELIEF FROM THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, ENHANCE THE RESILIENCE OF FOOD AND HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS ENDURING THE PANDEMIC AND RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEEDS IN AN IMPACTFUL, TIMELY AND AUTHENTIC WAY.THE YOUNGSTOWN-WARREN-BOARDMAN METROPOLITAN AREA OF OHIO WAS RANKED THE NUMBER TWO REGION FOR HIGHEST FOOD INSECURITY RATES IN THE NATION IN 2018 (HTTPS://BUSINESSJOURNALDAILY.COM/VALLEY-RANKED-2ND-MOST-FOOD-INSECURE-AREA-IN-NATION/). THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS ONLY EXACERBATED THE FOOD INSECURITY OF AREA RESIDENTS. THE MERCY HEALTH PRX HAS SUCCESSFULLY PROVIDED SIGNIFICANT ASSISTANCE TO LOW-INCOME PATIENTS, WITH AVERAGE COHORT SIZES OF 200 ANNUALLY FROM 2013-2017 AND AN AVERAGE SIZE OF 606 FROM 2018-2020, DUE TO SUPPORT FROM THE 2017 USDA FINI AWARD 2017-70025-26687. HOWEVER, WITHOUT FUNDING FROM GUSNIP CRR PRX, THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS WOULD LIKELY BE REDUCED TO PRE-FINI NUMBERS, LEAVING HUNDREDS OF LOW-INCOME PATIENTS WITHOUT AFFORDABLE ACCESS TO FRESH PRODUCE.THE ORIGINAL GOALS OF THE 2017 FINI AWARD WERE 1) TO INCREASE THE PURCHASE OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES BY LOW-INCOME CONSUMERS PARTICIPATING IN SNAP; 2) TO INSTITUTIONALIZE NUTRITION EDUCATION INTO ALL LEVELS OF A REGIONAL HEALTH SYSTEM TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES; AND 3) TO INCREASE THE VIABILITY OF FARMERS' MARKETS AND THE NUMBER OF VENDORS PARTICIPATING. THESE GOALS WERE ACHIEVED BY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASING THE MERCY HEALTH PRX COHORT SIZE ANNUALLY--FROM 200 TO 800--AND BY OFFERING PRX ENROLLMENT AT 24 MERCY HEALTH CLINICS IN THE YOUNGSTOWN REGION. FOOD INSECURITY SCREENING, NUTRITION EDUCATION, AND EVALUATION BECAME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE PROGRAM. FARMERS MARKETS AND FARMER COOPERATIVES WERE STRENGTHENED BY THE INCREASED CUSTOMER BASE OF LOW-INCOME PATIENTS ABLE TO PURCHASE FRESH PRODUCE. EVEN THROUGHOUT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, PROJECT PARTNERS WERE ABLE TO ADJUST TO CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES BY WORKING WITH LOCAL FARMERS TO ASSEMBLE, DISTRIBUTE AND DELIVER BOXES OF FRESH PRODUCE DIRECTLY TO ENROLLED PATIENTS, AS SEVERAL LOCAL FARMERS MARKETS CEASED OPERATIONS IN 2020.THE PROPOSED 2021 GUSNIP CRR PRX PROJECT WILL EXPAND THE GOALS OF ORIGINAL AWARD BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF MERCY HEALTH PRX PARTICIPANTS, EXTENDING THE PARTICIPATION PERIOD TO SIX (6) MONTHS PER YEAR, OFFERING A NEW BRICK-AND-MORTAR FACILITY FOR PRESCRIPTION REDEMPTION WITH EXTENDED HOURS, PROVIDE DELIVERY SERVICE TO PARTICIPANTS WITH TRANSPORTATION ISSUES, OFFER DIRECT ASSISTANCE AND NUTRITION EDUCATION TO FOOD INSECURE PATIENTS WITH DIET-RELATED ILLNESS, AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE VIABILITY OF LOCAL FARMERS THROUGH THE PRIORITIZATION OF PROVIDING ACCESS TO FRESH, LOCALLY-GROWN PRODUCE TO PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS.THE 2017 FINI AWARD INCLUDED BOTH SNAP INCENTIVES AND PRODUCE PRESCRIPTIONS; HOWEVER, FOR PURPOSES OF THE 2021 GUSNIP CRR, OUR PROPOSED PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE MERCY HEALTH PRX. A BUDGET COMPARISON OF THE 2017 FINI AND THE 2021 GUSNIP CRR IS INCLUDED IN THE TABLE BELOW. AS DETAILED IN THE BUDGET JUSTIFICATION, FUNDS FOR EQUIPMENT, TRAVEL, MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES, PUBLICATIONS, AND A PORTION OF PERSONNEL COSTS WILL BE PROVIDED BY A GRANT FROM THE MERCY HEALTH FOUNDATION MAHONING VALLEY, IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF 2021 GUSNIP CRR FUNDS REACHING PARTICIPANTS DIRECTLY. PRX FUNDS WILL SUPPORT PATIENT COHORTS FOR THREE YEARS, BEGINNING ON JUNE 15, 2021 THROUGH JUNE 14, 2024. THE PROPOSED 2021 GUSNIP CRR PROJECT WILL INCORPORATE HOME DELIVERY SERVICES OF PRODUCE BOXES AS PART OF THE MERCY HEALTH PRX, AS LACK OF TRANSPORTATION WAS A SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO PATIENT PARTICIPATION. IN 2020, IN RESPONSE TO THE PANDEMIC, MORE THAN 1,000 PRODUCE BOXES WERE DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO THE HOMES OF LOW-INCOME PATIENTS. MERCY HEALTH HAS DEDICATED FUTURE FUNDING TOWARD DELIVERY SERVICES FOR ENROLLED PATIENTS. ANOTHER SIGNIFICANT BARRIER IDENTIFIED BY PARTICIPANTS WAS THE DIFFICULTY OF FARMERS MARKET ATTENDANCE DUE TO LIMITED HOURS OF OPERATION. IN RESPONSE, THE PROJECT TEAM PLANS TO OPEN A NEW BRICK-AND-MORTAR FACILITY THAT WILL BE OPEN YEAR-ROUND AND PRIORITIZE LOCALLY- AND REGIONALLY-PRODUCED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, PROVIDING INCREASED ACCESS AND CHOICE FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. THE BRICK-AND-MORTAR FACILITY--TO BE OPENED IN 2021 BY YNDC AND MERCY HEALTH--WILL PROVIDE SPACE FOR NUTRITION EDUCATION AND HEALTH SCREENINGS BY MERCY HEALTH STAFF. PRIVATE SPACE WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED FOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS TO COMPLETE PRE- AND POST- SURVEYS REQUIRED BY THE NTAE EVALUATION. THE PROJECT TEAM WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH THE NTAE TO EVALUATE THE IMPACT OF THE MERCY HEALTH PRX ON OVERALL HEALTH IMPROVEMENT, REDUCTION OF FOOD INSECURITY, AND REDUCTION IN HEALTHCARE COSTS AND USE.
