Regina is a 12-year-old African American female living with her parents in the Woodlawn community in Jefferson County. At her last check-up with the pediatrician at the Jefferson County Health Department her B/P was 148/80 with a BMI of 30. The pediatrician is considering a low dose of lisinopril to manage her B/P. Regina does not have a grocery store in her community with fresh fruits and vegetables. Her parents purchase a high percentage of carbohydrate rich processed foods because they have no other options. Traveling to the closest grocery store where fresh fruits and vegetables are available is not realistic. Her parents each work two jobs to make ends meet.
