目前美国有7175个农贸市场，这些组织越来越被视为解决国家健康问题的一个方面。最近有一种趋势是在医疗中心校园建立市场，这种伙伴关系可以增强医疗中心为社区健康服务的能力。然而，据我们所知，没有研究描述医疗中心市场的出现，这种倡议所面临的障碍和挑战，或它可能促进的规划的性质。我们对宾夕法尼亚州立好时医疗中心（Pennsylvania State Hershey Medical Center）季节性、每周一次、仅限生产者的市场的建立过程进行了定性描述，并呼吁对这些新兴社区空间给予更多的公共卫生关注。[J] .中华卫生杂志，2011;01:2226-2232。doi: 10.2105 / AJPH.2011.300197)
There are currently 7175 farmers' markets in the United States, and these organizations are increasingly viewed as one facet of the solution to national health problems. There has been a recent trend toward establishing markets on medical center campuses, and such partnerships can augment a medical center's ability to serve community health. However, to our knowledge no studies have described the emergence of a market at a medical center, the barriers and challenges such an initiative has faced, or the nature of programming it may foster. We provide a qualitative description of the process of starting a seasonal, once-a-week, producers-only market at the Pennsylvania State Hershey Medical Center, and we call for greater public health attention to these emerging community spaces.
