As part of our humanities programming The Virgin Valley Artists' Association and The Art Box are proud to present a podcast with Southern Nevada Health Districts health educator Pitchaya Pattasema. Pitchaya oversees the Pop-Up Produce Stands program.
The Pop-Up Produce Stands program is part of CDC’s Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health (REACH) program which aims to improve health, prevent chronic disease, and reduce health disparities among racial and ethnic populations with the highest risk of chronic disease. The Pop-Ups Produce Stands enable low-access and low-income persons to access fresh fruits and vegetables. People are able to use their SNAP/EBT benefits to purchase produce at a discount on top of being able to use incentives such as Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) to maximize their purchase. The DUFB works by providing dollar to dollar coupons for every dollar of fruits and vegetables purchased. If a client buys 10 dollars’ worth of fruits and vegetables with their SNAP/EBT benefit, they will receive a $10 coupon to buy more fruits and vegetables.
You can find out more at the web site for Get Healthy Clark County or from you phone you can dial 211 for Nevada 211, a program of the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, that is committed to helping Nevadans connect with the services they need.
We work with many programs, agencies, coalitions, organizations, and community partners to foster physical, social, and policy changes that make it easier for residents and visitors to engage in healthy lifestyles.
Mission
To mobilize communities, develop innovative, evidence-based programs and advocate for policies that support healthy lifestyles, healthy communities and the elimination of health disparities.
Vision
To lead through collaboration with internal and external partners to bring innovative, creative health promotion programming to the community.
Goals
The Office of Chronic Disease Prevention & Health Promotion works toward the achievement of several health goals. These goals have been selected using health and needs assessment data for our community to ensure that they align with the health needs of Clark County residents.
Farmers Markets selling fresh grown produce may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think desert living. But actually, there are several markets around the Valley giving residents access to lots of locally and regionally grown produce.
Shopping at your local farmers market not only supports small businesses and farmers, it’s also a great opportunity to learn more about where your food comes from and how it’s grown, empowering you to make informed food choices for your family.
Farmers Markets Accepting EBT, SNAP, Debit & CreditMarket dates, hours, and locations are subject to change. Please check with the market before your visit.
To see a list of Farmers Markets participating in WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program visit the Nevada WIC website.
