Very interesting research given the investment in care navigation and intensive case management. This quote struck me, "the bottom line is, we built a brilliant intervention to navigate people to nowhere.” Are we investing in the actual services needed?

Yes yes yes!!!

Seeing hundreds of people getting sick from the food they’re eating made me realize I can’t stay in my office seeing patients all day. It’s going to be a never ending stream if we don't go upstream and fix the food system.

One of my favorite conferences because of the “robust” discussions!

[Mark Hyman, M.D. @drmarkhyman]

It is our minds that determine our life, our quality of health, our relationships, our ability to live our dreams, and to find our passion. If you can’t fix your mindset, you can’t fix anything.

Check out the @LarryBuhl @nytimes piece recognizing that #medicallytailoredmeals improve patient quality of life and reduce medical costs! Amazing research coming out of @FIMCoalition partners @MANNANourishes @ProjAngelFood @communityserv+@CalFIMC!

‘School lunch alone has been able to pull 1.4 million Americans out of poverty.’ These are not just anti-hunger programs here. They impact health, learning, and families upward mobility. @nokidhungry at the @RootCauseCo’s #TRCCSummit19.

Combatting food insecurity means changing perception: It’s not that low income individuals don’t want to eat healthy food, they can’t afford it. #TRCCLearningCohorts #TRCCSummit19

“Despite having dedicated staff like a registered dietitian and care coordinator working with patients managing gestational diabetes, the needle barely moves in improving the condition. Other factors like access to healthy foods need to be considered.” #TRCCSummit19

Depression is not primarily a malfunction; it is primarily a signal. We need to stop insulting this signal - by saying it’s a sign of weakness, or madness, or entirely biological - & start listening to it

Blueberries are powerhouses when it comes to nutrition. They are one of the most antioxidant-rich foods in the world (which is what gives them that blue pigment). Plus, just one cup of blueberries contains a big serving of vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber. #FoodIsMedicine

[LScotlandStewart @LSSColorado]

I'm a "qualitarian" when it comes to food. More reasons to love @proj_angelheart :
All of our ground beef is grass fed organic
Our chicken is antibiotic and hormone free
Our fish is sustainably sourced
We use over 4,000 lbs. of donated fresh, locally-grown, organic produce/year

This evaluation of the progression of diabetes care is COMPELLING. "It appears that advances in diabetes care over the past decade have not translated into meaningful improvement in treatment outcomes." Time for change in our approach. #foodismedicine

Well over a year ago, @proj_angelheart set out to figure out a shipping model to serve more communities in Colorado with medically tailored meals! #foodismedicine

[Project Angel Heart @proj_angelheart]

New milestone alert: After launching our meal shipping program 15 months ago, we have now served 30 percent of counties in Colorado! We've shipped to 36 towns in 19 counties. We're so proud to truly be serving Coloradans all across our state.

[Project Angel Heart @proj_angelheart]

Yes they should! This is a great piece from our colleagues @communityserv. https://t.co/Edu1bQE2Px via @foodtank

[LScotlandStewart @LSSColorado]

Here at @proj_angelheart we have the absolute BEST volunteers. It was a pleasure to pack bags with them this morning and ensure medically tailored meals go to people managing chronic illness. #foodismedicine #volunteersrock

[Food is Medicine Coalition @FIMCoalition]

Great piece by @TuftsNutrition @Dmozaffarian thank you for the shout out and for this important op-ed #foodismedicine https://t.co/TC2rYXRtCz
