This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a program called Eat Well that gives heart failure patients money to buy fresh fruits and vegetables each month. The study compares three groups: patients who get usual care only, patients who get a $100 monthly produce card with basic support, and patients who get the same card with more intensive coaching to help them use it effectively.
Many heart failure patients struggle with food insecurity—meaning they can't reliably afford healthy food—which makes their condition worse. This study wants to see if making fresh produce more affordable, combined with personalized coaching, can help these patients stay healthier and avoid hospitalizations.

If you join, you'll be randomly assigned to one of three groups. One group continues their regular care; the other two groups receive a benefit card worth $100 per month for 12 months to buy fresh produce, with varying levels of support from a health coach. Throughout the year, you'll work with your care team and possibly a virtual health coach (depending on your group) to help you use the program effectively and track how it affects your health.
