AI Summary
Maryland Department of Health seeks applications for culturally appropriate produce prescription programs to improve health in high-poverty communities by providing free fruits and vegetables as medical treatment for diet-related conditions.
A produce prescription is a medical treatment for a diet-related condition, such as high blood pressure. A healthcare provider determines that produce (fruits and vegetables) is an appropriate treatment and prescribes produce to a patient. The patient then receives free produce, which improves the patient’s health by increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. The purpose of this RFA is to fund high-quality, culturally appropriate, community-tailored produce prescriptions to improve the health of Marylanders living in high-poverty areas.

SLED stands for State, Local, and Education. These are solicitations issued by state governments, counties, cities, school districts, utilities, and higher education institutions — as opposed to federal agencies.
