## Brief Summary

The purpose of this research is to see if offering more navigation and text-message support will help increase participation and engagement in a Food is Medicine program. The study will recruit people currently participating in cardiac rehabilitation. People will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 study groups: navigation, text-messaging, both, or neither. People will complete surveys at the start of the study and after 3 months. After 3 months, we will compare how many Food is Medicine meals or groceries people in each group received.

## Arms

- **Usual Care** (PLACEBO_COMPARATOR)
- **Navigation + Usual Care** (EXPERIMENTAL)
- **Text Messaging + Usual Care** (EXPERIMENTAL)
- **Navigation + Text Messaging + Usual Care** (EXPERIMENTAL)

## Interventions

- **Usual Care** (BEHAVIORAL) — Participants will receive a message sent to their electronic health record portal with instructions about how to sign up for a food is medicine program.
- **Navigation** (BEHAVIORAL) — Participants will receive a weekly phone call from a navigator to promote enrollment in the food is medicine program and address any barriers to participation.
- **Text Messaging** (BEHAVIORAL) — Participants will receive two text messages per week to promote healthy eating, enrolling in a food is medicine program, and continuing to participate in a food is medicine program.

## Primary Outcomes

- **Participant reported satisfaction** _(time frame: 3 months)_ — Scale of 1 \[Quite dissatisfied\] to 5 \[Very satisfied\]

## Secondary Outcomes

- **Number of food is medicine meal or grocery distributions received** _(time frame: 3 months)_
- **Proportion of participants initiating the food is medicine program** _(time frame: 3 months)_
- **Proportion of participants engaged in the food is medicine program** _(time frame: 3 months)_
