Your doctor wants you to eat healthy. You could even get a prescription for it

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:09:38 GMT

When Octavia Hammond of Southeast D.C. goes to the grocery store, she uses two cards to pay for what she is buying. One card is for all the fresh produce, and the other pays for everything else.The one that buys the produce, a Fresh Connect card, is distributed by the nonprofit DC Greens and its Produce RX program. It’s literally a prescription she got from a doctor, but instead of medication, the prescription is for healthy foods for her and her family.“Because of food prices, everything is super expensive these days,” said Hammond. “Just having that little extra bump, knowing that you have picky eaters and children that want to try stuff but they might not want to finish it, it’s just a good way to introduce new foods to the household and not really put a dent in your income.”Programs like this one are helping her and her family eat better, which in turn is helping the whole health care system.A study out this week in the American Heart Associat...
