About me
Gina is an Assistant Professor within WVU Extension where her role is focused on administration and implementation of service delivery programs to under-resourced communities and populations through education and outreach associated with the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – Education (SNAP-Ed). Over the past four years, she has been a key member of a collaborative team which plans, implements, and evaluates processes for the FARMacy WV: Prescriptions for Produce program. This program has facilitated partnerships with health care systems, local agriculture, and Extension to improve both the quality of care and access to nutritious food resources for some of our most rural communities. This has led to bringing additional Food is Medicine partners together strengthening our ability to provide greater outreach to more areas of our state and develop plans for improved sustainability.
