Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the food insecurity crisis in Canada, and existing supports have been largely insufficient to meet the food needs of communities. In response to increasing reports of food insecurity among Toronto residents during the pandemic, the Food RX program was developed as a collaborative initiative between FoodShare Toronto - a local, community-based food justice organization - and the University Health Network, a large university-affiliated hospital network in downtown Toronto, ON. This commentary describes the Food RX program, highlights the lessons learned during its early implementation and offers a set of recommendations for building community partnerships moving forward.
COVID-19大流行加剧了加拿大的粮食不安全危机，现有的支持在很大程度上不足以满足社区的粮食需求。为应对疫情期间多伦多居民日益增多的粮食不安全报告，FoodShare Toronto(当地社区食品正义组织)与University Health Network(位于安大略省多伦多市中心的大型大学附属医院网络)合作推出了food RX项目。本评论介绍了食品RX计划，强调了在早期实施过程中吸取的经验教训，并为今后建立社区伙伴关系提供了一系列建议。
期刊介绍：
Governing boards of healthcare organizations in Canada are accountable for the performance of their organization and provide oversight on their decisions. Traditionally, many healthcare boards have focused on finances and community relations and have deferred responsibility for quality of care.
