Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Diabetes (DM), Nutrition

In brief

The primary purpose of this study is to determine if the implementation of a food as medicine program would improve clinical outcomes when integrated into routine care at two large academic hospitals. 1. Determine if the FRESH Program's methods of addressing food insecurity improves clinical outcomes, reduces emergency room visits, and reduces hospital admissions for patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease, surgery, and/or recent COVID-19 hospital admission. 2. Determine the feasibility and scalability of the FRESH Program nutrition intervention within two separate health systems in order to inform future state and federal policies governing reimbursement for nutritional interventions that improve food insecurity.
