Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an intervention to provide food support to families who are part of a Medicaid Accountable Care Organization will provide benefits. The main question it aims to answer:
Does this monthly food support intervention reduce food insecurity and healthcare utilization in these patients.
Participants will complete surveys in the hospital, 14-days after discharge, and then quarterly for up to 18 months. Families randomized to the intervention group will receive monthly grocery gift cards for one year.
