Cultivar is an initiative led by HCMH and is an extension of the Risk Buster healthy living program. Risk Buster focuses on preventing and improving client health, whereas Cultivar focuses on education and making good food choices.
Cultivar teaches clients how to grow and prepare organically grown foods in the garden. Cultivar is designed to reach across socioeconomic and age barriers to help both young and old experience the enjoyment of organic gardening.
Produce from the garden will be distributed to Hill Country Mission for Health clients and will supplement monthly food distribution at Hill Country Family Services.

The Risk Buster program provides comprehensive care that not only treats but also focuses on prevention and improvement of client health.
This program educates patients on the importance of a healthy diet and exercise to combat their risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.
HCMH providers require participation in the Risk Buster program for any patient battling or at risk for developing chronic disease due to their high cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, or unhealthy behaviors such as smoking.
