Over the last several decades, Produce Prescription Programs have emerged as promising approach to improve health outcomes, reduce food insecurity, and manage long-term health care costs. These Programs enable health care providers to distribute benefits/vouchers for fruits and vegetables to patients living with, or at risk of, diet-related health conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. Despite mounting evidence that that Produce Prescription Programs can improve health outcomes by promoting affordable access to healthy foods, availability of these services remains limited in many areas of the country.
The Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation of Harvard Law School is excited to announce the launch of its new report analyzing current barriers and policy opportunities for expanding access to Produce Prescription Programs across the United States. This Web Forum will provide an overview of key findings from the report as well as provide insights from experts in the produce prescription field.
