One-on-one health and wellness coaching will be available for six months to research study participants who complete the FSP.

Coaching will be individually tailored, and may include the following topics:

Food Pharmacy
The Cura Project has partnered with a local grocery story to have health groceries delivered directly to your home every two weeks for 18 months. These healthy foods will include information on kitchen skills and various recipes.

Financial Social Work
Participants meet with a financial social worker to maximize available income and benefits, connect with community programs to increase income and receive help with applications, required documents, and submissions. The social worker assists participants in navigating resources such as housing, health insurance, prescription costs, transportation, pantries and utilities.
