Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation at Harvard Law School
2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has reinforced the importance of the connection between the food we eat and our health and resiliency. As food insecurity rates skyrocket across the country, people are increasingly seeking ways to access the foods they need to remain healthy and out of our strained health care systems. Fruit and vegetable prescription programs (“Produce Rx”) offer a powerful solution.

Watch this webinar to learn what Produce Rx programs have to offer, hear from clinicians and health care payers about why these programs are so important, and discuss opportunities to scale and integrate Produce Rx programs to address the food and health inequities being deepened by the pandemic.
