PRx Program
PRx Program
Our Produce Prescription programs work to improve the dietary health of those suffering from diet-related conditions through increased consumption of specific fruits and vegetables. We increase access to fruits and vegetables for participants with an on-site market that also offers nutrition coaching and education to empower healthy habits. In this program, food becomes the medicine to treat, alleviate, and even reverse diet-related conditions such as type two diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and obesity.
By focusing on nutrition as the treatment plan participants experience biometric improvements such as a decrease in blood pressure, a decrease in A1C, weight loss, and an increase in immune system function. Consistent participation in “food as medicine” activities results in overall improved health and habits which will in turn increase the participant’s ability to improve the nutrition of their household, function better in the workplace, and contribute more to their communities.
Additional Patient Benefits:
PRx programs can also make a significant impact on a reduction in healthcare use and associated costs. By focusing on addressing the root causes of diet related illness and prescribing fruits and vegetables as the intervention, true biometric change can be achieved without a plethora of medical services.
Additionally, PRx programs help improve the Doctor-Patient relationship.
Why Consider PRx For Your Healthcare Facility?
Utilizing food as medicine to positively impact diet related conditions allows for a reduction in associated healthcare costs such as ER visits, medications, operations, and hospitalization. Healthcare centers and payers save money in the long run as PRx does it’s work to improve bodily health and prevent the chronic effects of poor diet.
