Della Harris, a stroke survivor of three years, has made great strides in her recovery to relearn to walk and talk again. Her stroke also revealed her unmanaged diabetes — a condition she’s had for more than 15 years that she’s now eager to control.

In February, the Harris Health patient began that journey by enrolling in the system’s Food Rx Program at Harris Health Casa de Amigos Health Center. Food Rx, a food program designed for people with unmanaged diabetes and food insecurity, combines personalized nutrition education with access to healthy nutritious foods every two weeks — participants receive 30 pounds of fruits, vegetables and proteins. A tandem of dietitians and community health workers teach patients about food selection, portion control and food preparation for healthy eating.
