Nutrition OUtReach In Systems of Healthcare

Description

Many children and adults receiving medical treatments have higher costs, which can make it harder for them to afford groceries. When someone can't afford enough food, and they do not receive proper nutrition it can make treatment more difficult. By doing this study investigators hope to learn more about whether addressing food insecurity by giving patients bags of food in clinic can help improve nutrition, reduce costs, and improve transplant and cellular therapy outcomes.

Conditions

ALLOGENEIC HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELL TRANSPLANTATION, Autologous Haemopoietic Stem Cell Transplant, CAR-T Cell Therapy, Food Insecurity
