This linkage allows individuals to obtain appropriate resources to support their recovery at home. Healthcare Savings: In addition to improving the health status of their target population, Flavor Harvest@HOME’s nutrition intervention has been found to prevent readmissions, thereby reducing costs for hospital systems associated with additional care and readmissions fees. Social Connectedness: The Flavor Harvest@HOME program provides individuals an opportunity to connect with a Registered Dietician as part of their program participation.
