Fresh Rx Intervention group

Fresh Rx Intervention participants will be able to fill their prescription at the FQHC based Farmers Market for fresh produce up to eight times during the 15-week Fresh Rx program. The provided debit cards will be loaded with the $10 stipend at each visit. At each market session, cooking demonstrations will take place that reinforce healthy food options and how to prepare foods that were available at the Mercado. All control group participants will be given flyers describing all the health and wellness programs at the FQHC including the Mercado. Control group participants will receive a $10 gift card to a national brand pharmacy (no fresh produce available). The enrollment time for the control group will overlap with the Fresh Rx group. After a 3-month time period, the control group will follow up and be given a $20 gift card to the same national brand pharmacy.
