Eat Well Heart Failure Study

This study, called "Eat Well Heart Failure," is looking at how a program that provides healthy food and coaching can help people with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have a CHF diagnosis, have been to the hospital or emergency room for CHF in the last year, and are at risk of not having enough food (food insecurity). The study is testing two main things: "Eat Well," which gives you a debit card to buy fruits, vegetables, and legumes, and "Personal health planning and nutritional coaching" from ZealCare. Researchers want to see if these interventions reduce emergency room visits, hospital stays, and deaths over 12 months. The current status of this study is unclear.
