Join a Food-as-Medicine Trial

Feeding patients nutritious meals costs less—and heals more—than relying on medication alone.

What’s Broken

The sickest 5% of Americans drive over 50% of national healthcare costs. Yet despite overwhelming evidence, most insurance companies don’t cover food—even when it would save lives and money.

The Fix

Medically tailored meals programs show 16% reduction in healthcare costs, fewer hospitalizations, and $570 per patient per month in savings.

How to Take Action

  1. Advocate for Medicare and Medicaid coverage of medically tailored meals
  2. Support and donate to the Food Is Medicine Coalition
  3. Call your representatives to co-sponsor legislation
  4. Share your story if food has helped you heal
