Accessibility Information Produce Prescriptions (ProduceRx) Food is Medicine interventions integrate nutritious food, through programs such as medically tailored meals and produce prescriptions, into clinical care to prevent and treat chronic, diet-related diseases like diabetes and heart disease. A produce prescription is a medical treatment for a diet-related condition, such as high blood pressure.
Upon determining that produce (fruit and vegetables) is an appropriate and impactful intervention for a condition, a provider or other professional would “prescribe” produce to a patient. Through the prescribed medical nutrition, the patient will receive free produce to add to their daily meals.
The State is currently establishing the program by looking to local leaders and stakeholders for the most impactful ways to implement ProduceRx to meet the needs of a particular community, with a focus on regions where high childhood poverty rates call for tailored, local solutions. ProduceRX in Your Community: Request for Applications (RFA) The Maryland Department of Health is seeking applications to implement ProduceRx.
The Department will fund programs and ideas from interested Maryland-based coalitions of nonprofit organizations, state and local government agencies, and academic institutions who operate in or serve ENOUGH communities . ENOUGH communities are defined as those with a child poverty rate greater than 30% and that overlap with the catchment area of a Maryland public school where the school poverty rate is 75% or higher.
The $10 million fund will support program implementation for a two-year period. The application process is currently open and proposals are due by August 17, 2026. Awards will be made early this fall.
