List of goals and specific aims: Climate policies and solutions are too often implemented in silos, without health and equity as key considerations, and without fully and equitably engaging communities whose lived experience needs to be incorporated into effective solutions. The proposed initiative will begin to address these issues by forging a model community-academic partnership to protect some of San Francisco’s communities that are most systemically vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change on health.

Food insecurity rates have been increasing in the last two decades and this has been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic (Srinivasan 2021). For example, 50% of SF Food Bank clients did not use food programs before the pandemic (SF Food Security Task Force, 2022). Fortunately, food programs for patients are on the rise (De Marchis 2019).

In 2019, members of the Department of General Internal Medicine (DGIM) started a Food Pharmacy for general medicine patients with food insecurity. Pediatric residents from the General Pediatric Practice (GPP) at Mt. Zion heard about this program in 2021. They conducted a survey of 150 of their patients and found that nearly 20% rate had food insecurity. In March 2021, pediatric resident Priya Pathak contacted Dr. Moreno-John about starting a food program for their patients.
