Abstract
  • Fresh Food Rx gives healthcare providers and their patients a powerful new tool to make healthy food an explicit part of preventive healthcare – as explicit as prescription medications. In our vision, prescriptions for good nutrition should be as ubiquitous and specific as prescriptions for medication to help more patients avoid or delay chronic illness and its complications. This vision also includes affordable places to buy healthy staple foods like fruits and vegetables in every neighborhood in Durham. Fresh Food Rx connects the dots, giving MDs, NPs, RDs, and other clinicians a powerful tool to convey the importance of fruits and vegetables to patients, while also creating systems to make them more affordable in the short term and more readily available over the medium and long term.
