Waterfall Community Health Center’s Social Health Navigation Team
It is the vision of the Waterfall Community Health Center’s Social Health Program to provide patients with the opportunity to receive equitable access to integrated health care, regardless of any barriers they may experience. As such, we recognize that Social Determinants, such as lack of transportation or financial strain, play a centralized role in a person’s overall health or lack of health and well-being. The Social Health Program provides services and links to local resources for Waterfall patients who are experiencing certain barriers to their health. We hope to empower our Waterfall community with the services, and education needed to live whole and healthy lives.

Veggie Rx Program
Waterfall’s Veggie Rx program is designed to address food insecurity and increase the intake of fresh fruits and vegetables for our patients. This program is open to all patients free of charge, and patients can come by once a week to get a bag of produce. If it’s your first time visiting us, you get a free reusable grocery bag to take your food home with! Waterfall also has a produce station available without prescription to all youth at our Marshfield School Based Health Center.
