Prince George’s Fresh
Prince George’s Fresh was a pilot fruit and vegetable coupon benefit program designed to increase access to healthy food in Prince George’s County, Maryland.
This is a sunset initiative (no longer active).
Through a collaborative partnership among IPHI, Giant Food, Amerigroup, the Anthem Foundation, and the Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Workgroup of the Prince George’s Healthcare Action Coalition, Prince George’s Fresh increased access to healthy food for Prince George’s County residents. The program allowed medical professionals at participating health clinics to recommend produce coupons and nutrition education to patients experiencing food insecurity. Prince George’s Fresh was an innovative opportunity to engage cross-sectoral partners in an evidence-based model to address County health disparities and food insecurity.
