Acacia Network seeks to improve community health outcomes by reversing diabetes, heart disease, and obesity through a nutrition program that fosters the lifestyle modification of eating a more plant-based diet.
Our services include weekly nutrition classes of various topics, as well as live cooking demonstrations that focus on how to incorporate more plant-based foods into your diet. We also offer a nutrition class series for patients diagnosed with diabetes and/or who are overweight. Our program is currently the only one of its kind in the Bronx!
Eligibility:
Anyone who has one or more of the following conditions and lives in New York State:
- Prediabetes or Diabetes
- Hypertension
- High cholesterol
- Overweight or Obese
We accept pediatric patients as well, allowing parents of children who are suffering from any of the above conditions to attend the classes. We offer pediatric-specific classes every 6 weeks.
We accept most insurances and offer need-based sliding scale fees for low-income patients. No referrals needed!
