What this Trial Is About
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an intervention to provide food support to families who are part of government or self-pay insurances will provide benefits. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Determine the effect of implementing an in-hospital food support intervention for low-income parents on reutilization and family-centered outcomes. * Among families with baseline food insecurity, determine the effectiveness of a post-discharge food support intervention and as-needed social work referral on reutilization and family-centered outcomes. Researchers will compare the in-hospital food support intervention and will be rolled out to sequential hospital units. In addition, the post-discharge food support intervention will be compared to standard discharge. Some participants will: * Receive in-hospital meal cards or standard care during hospitalization * Receive post-discharge food support intervention or standard discharge * Complete a 14-day post discharge follow-up survey
