Insights + Perspectives
To help healthcare leaders navigate this rapidly evolving landscape, Mom's Meals® has published a new white paper that explores the evidence, implementation strategies and policy opportunities shaping the future of food as medicine.
The pressure is on with care delivery. Food as medicine can help.
As healthcare organizations face growing pressure to improve outcomes, reduce avoidable utilization and manage rising costs, food as medicine continues to gain momentum as a practical, evidence-based strategy for supporting whole-person care.
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience delivering nutrition solutions nationwide, Food as Medicine at Scale: Targeted Nutrition Interventions to Improve Outcomes and Reduce Total Cost of Care examines the populations most likely to benefit from nutrition interventions, the importance of aligning nutrition support to clinical needs and the operational considerations required to successfully scale programs. It also explores the evidence, strategies and policy opportunities shaping the future of food as medicine.
“Food as medicine is moving from innovation to implementation as healthcare organizations look for practical ways to improve outcomes and reduce costs," shares Chris Choi, chief executive officer at Mom’s Meals. "As the evidence base continues to grow, the opportunity ahead is to build scalable models that make clinically appropriate nutrition interventions available to more people who can benefit from them”
