Food Supplementation Delivered Conditionally vs Not Among Patients With Heart Failure

The current study proposes to investigate if the provision of healthy food can improve outcomes following discharge after HF hospitalization. To investigate this in an efficient and pragmatic manner, a 2x2 factorial randomized control trial design will be utilized to simultaneously investigate two separate, important food-related questions: * Does the provision of 90 days of either medically-tailored meals or fresh produce boxes improve 90-day patient outcomes among those with HF relative to a control group not receiving food supplements and instead receiving an equivalent monetary supplement? * Does receipt of the supplement in a conditional fashion, where the supplement is continued only if the participant attends follow-up visits or fills prescribed medications at the pharmacy, have more impact than providing unconditional supplementation?
