New in @thehill. CEO David Waters & Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian from @TuftsUniversity argue that public health programs must cover medically tailored meals, & urge Congress to pass the bipartisan MTM Medicare pilot. Read & share: https://t.co/EJd0qI8vvO

@WBUR The research shows the impact.

This story shows how it happens. Read via @WBUR: https://t.co/ojlRIauDar

Beyond the numbers, what does “food is medicine” actually look like? @WBUR goes inside Community Servings 👇

[Community Servings @communityserv]

@WBUR 8,000+ served across Massachusetts. 200,000+ could benefit. Expanding access means scaling what works.

@RepMcGovern Study led by researchers at @UMassChan and the @TuftsNutrition Food is Medicine Institute, including Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH.

New in @NatureMedicine.

The largest Medicaid study of medically tailored meals to date finds they essentially pay for themselves.

Nearly 2,000 patients. 31% fewer hospitalizations. 20% fewer ED visits. Savings offset 98% of the meals.

Medicaid showed what works. Medicare is next.

A bipartisan pilot in Congress, co-led by @RepMcGovern, would test the model nationally.

The evidence is here.

[Community Servings @communityserv]

The lesson is that rigor matters.

These meals met the Food is Medicine Coalition standard, designed by dietitians and built around each diagnosis.

Lower-quality meal programs should not expect to see these outcomes.

[Community Servings @communityserv]

Thank you, @RepMcGovern, for your ongoing support and for highlighting the power of food as medicine. 🙌

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Food is medicine, and medically tailored meals save lives.

HUGE thank you to @communityserv for providing nutritious, scratch-cooked meals to people with chronic disease. My bill—the Medically Tailored Home-Delivered Meals Program Pilot Act—will expand access to those life saving meals & #EndHungerNow.

Community-based organizations like ours are the bridge between medicine and meals — and we’re proud to be at the table.

Did you know medical students are learning how to cook as part of their training?

For decades, we’ve seen how medically tailored meals and the power of food itself can support health — and now that work is being taught firsthand in our kitchen.

[Community Servings @communityserv]

With research showing reduced hospitalizations and lower healthcare costs, Food Is Medicine isn’t theoretical. It’s practical. And it works.

[Community Servings @communityserv]

Medically tailored meals are a powerful intervention proven to reduce hospitalizations and lower healthcare costs—yet they remain underutilized in most healthcare systems.
