Hartford HealthCare is in the pilot phase of an innovative “food as medicine” treatment program called food farmacy.

This hour on Where We Live, we hear from a cardiac patient referred by a Hartford Hospital cardiologist to the free farmacy pantry. The program is offered to food-insecure patients and their families, and is aimed to improve outcomes in patients with diabetes, heart failure, and more.

Experts also weigh in on food deserts in low-income communities, and SNAP incentives to choose healthier foods.
