Food as Medicine Program
Grocery Prescription - participants will receive a card loaded with $100 per month to be used on the Instacart Fresh Funds program website/app or a SodaHealth grocery prescription card to be used inside a Kroger or Food City stores. Patients who select grocery delivery where Instacart is not available will receive Food City meals for the same value. or 2) Medically Tailored Meals (MTM) - participants receive approximately 5 frozen meals per week from Mom's Meals that follow an approved diet for those with hypertension. Participants will complete screening questions (screening decision tree attached) after informed consent to determine which food package the participant will receive. The screening decision tree is a tool that asks about kitchen availability for preparing foods, skills, and access to transportation. Depending on how the patient answers they will receive either grocery prescription or MTM for 3-months or 12-weeks.
