Medical Food Market
The Dr. Miguel and Denese Brito Nutrition & Education Center at MedCenter for Women — affording women a dignified alternative to unhealthy food choices.
Education
Women who want to provide more for their families now have a dignified alternative to unhealthy food choices. Patients are referred by their physician or their advanced practice provider when a food need is identified during an office visit.
In addition to healthy, fresh foods, the program offers wellness coaching with a registered dietitian and financial health classes — creating long-term health through education.
Our Mission
The program is open to all women who see a physician. Patients are referred when a food need is identified during an office visit.
Share knowledge about why certain foods are chosen and preferred — offering wellness coaching and financial health classes.
The services are available to any woman, in any situation, with no judgment. This space restores dignity and affirms women from all walks of life.
Nutrition
Assisting women in underserved neighborhoods where healthier foods and proper nutrition are challenging to provide.
“This isn’t a pantry. This is giving women in need knowledge and creating habits that will provide for a healthier future.”
The Founders
Formerly of South Florida, Dr. and Mrs. Brito relocated to the Greensboro area to be closer to their family, children, and grandchildren. They have owned and operated numerous successful pathology practices.
Both are passionate about ensuring the women who benefit from the program have their basic needs met. They frequent the center often, giving their time alongside volunteers — stocking shelves and speaking with guests.
An immersive, new approach to health and wellness for our communities.
