The Fresh to Flourish program began in 2022 and runs through 2026.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The program\u2019s goal is to evaluate the impact of a healthcare-based produce incentive and nutrition education intervention on patients\u2019 fruit and vegetable intake, food security, biometric health outcomes, healthcare utilization, and healthcare costs. The program also will evaluate shifts in the patient-provider experience and aid in the development of implementation tools that lead to broader scalability and ease administrative burdens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How they do it:<\/strong> Primary care patients are screened for program eligibility, which includes having a chronic health condition or risk of developing one, and either 1) screening as food insecure using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.childrenshealthwatch.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/FINAL-Hunger-Vital-Sign-2-pager1.pdf\">hunger vital signs<\/a>, 2) being a Medicaid member, or 3) receiving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fns.usda.gov\/snap\/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program\">SNAP<\/a> benefits. Once enrolled in the program and study, participants receive their initial $100 worth of vouchers and a brief education on the dietary and health benefits of fruit and vegetable consumption. Participants receive an additional $50 in vouchers each month for the next five months. The vouchers can be used at local grocery stores, farm stands, and farmers&#8217; markets that offer local produce. Participants also receive information about live or pre-recorded nutrition education sessions available from community <a href=\"https:\/\/snaped.fns.usda.gov\/\">SNAP-Ed<\/a> providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To measure outcomes, participants fill out surveys at enrollment and at three, six, and 12 months after enrollment. Health outcomes, healthcare use, and, potentially, healthcare costs will be assessed in the final year of the study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mission: <\/strong>To provide and promote fresh, local food for whole health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Major Funding:<\/strong> <a

href=\"https:\/\/www.missiononline.net\/healthy-communities\/mmf\/\">CommonSpirit Health\u2019s Mission and Ministry Fund<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Profit\/nonprofit: <\/strong>Nonprofit<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Annual Budget:<\/strong> Approximately $600,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interesting fact about how it is working to positively affect health: <\/strong>The program also promotes the use of SNAP and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fns.usda.gov\/wic\">WIC<\/a> program benefits and encourages participants to shop at retailers that also accept <a href=\"https:\/\/doubleupcolorado.org\/\">Double Up Food Bucks<\/a>, a program that matches SNAP benefits dollar-for-dollar to purchase fresh
