Resource Summary: The Food Rx Replication Guide developed by NCFH supports health centers in addressing food insecurity and chronic disease incidence through a model seeking to build partnerships between the local food system, the healthcare system, and the patient population. Food Rx programs, also referred to as fruit and vegetable or produce prescription programs, offer a promising solution to the compounding issues of food insecurity, rising healthcare costs, and ill health.These programs facilitate the distribution of produce and other healthy food staples to patients who suffer from diet-related diseases such as prediabetes, diabetes, and hypertension.
