Background and Discussion:
In 2019, Harris Health System established a Food Rx program that serves adult patients expressing food insecurity who have Type 2 diabetes or other chronic disease. Patients screening positive for food insecurity are referred to a community health worker (CHW) for enrollment in the program. Once enrolled, patients select a variety of healthy foods with a CHW at an onsite or community pantry, receive chronic disease management education, are connected to a Houston Food Bank navigator for benefits enrollment, and are linked to community food resources.
