Produce Prescription Program

The Produce Prescription Program (aka, Produce Rx or PRx) allows medical professionals to prescribe fresh fruit and vegetables to food insecure patients diagnosed with a diet-related chronic illness. This program takes a food-as-medicine approach by integrating produce prescriptions into the health care system. DC Greens’ PRx program provides eligible Medicaid recipients with monthly funds to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables at participating grocery stores. Currently, PRx serves over 1,300 adults and 900 children throughout the District.

Children and Families Produce Rx 1-Year Pilot

The DC Greens Children’s and Families Program is a one-year pilot designed to expand food is medicine access and allow families with children on DC Medicaid to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. The pilot will conclude in December 2023.
