The Iowa Produce Prescription Program (IPPP) helps eligible Iowans access fresh fruits and vegetables through partnerships between healthcare providers and community organizations.
Think of it as a prescription for healthy food. Healthcare providers refer patients managing diet-related conditions, such as diabetes and obesity, to a six-month program that provides monthly produce benefits and nutrition education.
The goal is simple: increase access to fruits and vegetables, strengthen food security, and help Iowans live healthier lives.
