We look forward to hosting our first annual statewide "Building an Ecosystem of Health Symposium." Healthcare and medical nutrition organizations will be engaged in conversations aimed at supporting the Medi-Cal Medically Tailored Meals Pilot Program. #FoodIsMedicine #Leadership

[California Food is Medicine Coalition @CalFIMC]

As we kick off 2018, we are renewing our commitment to making medically tailored meals a benefit covered by Medi-Cal! In 2016, at least 5 of the leading causes of death in the US were connected to an unhealthy diet. Nutrition should be a right for all, not a privilege for a few!

[California Food is Medicine Coalition @CalFIMC]

"60% of deaths in the US are related to poor diets; we are simply eating ourselves sick."

Take a healthy snack break & listen to @CeresCathryn speak to the staggering benefits of nutritious food & why policy change is key to improving population health! https://t.co/ydIZ0qCt3Z

[California Food is Medicine Coalition @CalFIMC]

@CalFIMC leaders from across CA gathered today at @ProjectOpenHand to discuss the statewide Medically Tailored Meals Pilot Program. Their ultimate, collective goal? A healthy California for the sick and vulnerable through nutrition. Helping those with #CHF is only the beginning!

Looking forward to the event recordings post-symposium!
