This would be a big step in improving the maternal mortality rate in the US.

[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Today, I announced that the Biden-Harris Administration is proposing the first-ever national health and safety standards for maternity care in hospitals.

This will help ensure that every mother in America receives quality care throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.

[Food is Medicine Coalition @FIMCoalition]

Quality is important. It is why we put forth the first-ever standard for the #MTM intervention. Ours is an evergreen standard we plan to evolve w/nutrition science & research to help scale equitable access to this life saving intervention. https://t.co/1CtKZXanS2 @statnews

This is an eye-opening story on some of the for-profit organizations that are now billing (dare I say ripping off?) Medicaid payors for "medically tailored" meals. This is why the nutrition standards that most nonprofit MTM providers follow are so critical.

[Nicholas Florko @NicholasFlorko]

I was intrigued when I learned there were private-equity-backed for-profit companies selling "medically tailored meals," what I found well...it surprised me...https://t.co/CeWJz9oeST

Incredible news! Bipartisan and bicameral. #Foodismedicine.

[MANNA @MANNANourishes]

A bipartisan bill establishing the FIRST national MTM demo program in Medicare was just introduced. It would give seniors w/ critical illness access to medically-tailored, home delivered-meals. Thank you: @RepMcGovern @RepMalliotakis @chelliepingree @repbrianfitz @RepDwightEvans!

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

THREAD: Today, with @RepMalliotakis, @chelliepingree, @RepBrianFitz, and @RepDwightEvans, I'm aiming to create the FIRST-EVER Medicare medically tailored meals pilot program. https://t.co/w1RHSDCCsx

It was wonderful to host @PADHSArkoosh and a host of Medicaid MCOs at @MANNANourishes last week for a robust conversation on #FoodasMedicine and the role it plays in improving health and reducing healthcare costs.

[Secretary Val Arkoosh @PADHSArkoosh]

As we continue to strengthen our Medicaid program, doing more to help Pennsylvanians shore up these core, essential needs that are foundational to good health and a vibrant, productive life will also remain a focus.

“The FIM movement is strongly backed by science and is an effective investment by health systems and health insurers.” This @JAMANetwork article outlines key actions inside & outside the government taking place around the #FoodisMedicine movement. https://t.co/23x5Hez0Sb

[Food is Medicine Coalition @FIMCoalition]

We're thrilled to see this op-ed in today's @BostonGlobe by FIMC agency partner @communityserv CEO @DBW_FoodHeals, “Why Medicare should try medically tailored meals.” #MTMswork #foodismedicine https://t.co/Fc537oRxnE

[The Philadelphia Inquirer @PhillyInquirer]

Medically tailored meals improve the health outcomes in chronically ill patients.

A state rep has called for Pa. to allow hospitals to provide eligible medical assistance beneficiaries with prescribed meals.

[MANNA @MANNANourishes]

A bill to establish a Medically Tailored Meals Pilot Program across PA has officially been introduced in the PA House of Reps! Thank you to Rep. @donnabullock195 for her leadership in this effort & those who co-sponsored this legislation! Read here: https://t.co/REu99AdRWm

[Ann Hoskins-Brown @Ahbinpa]

Great to see @_SueDaugherty, CEO of @MANNANourishes quoted in this @axios article on the role of #nutrition in #healthcare. Medically tailored meals are a critical part of treatment and should be covered by insurance. #foodismedicine

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Let's correct the record: the majority of people on SNAP who can work do work.

The rest are children, seniors & people with disabilities.

If Republicans really care about getting people off SNAP, they should support raising the minimum wage instead of beating up on poor people.

[Mayor Cherelle L. Parker @PhillyMayor]

.@QuintonLucasKC, it’s a deal.

I’m proud to wager a couple of Philly favorites:
- A large pie from @DownNorthPizza.
- A six-pack from @PhillyBrewing.

And if our @eagles win (🤞) you can make a donation to @mannanourishes.

@RepKenyatta @MANNANourishes Thanks for a great conversation and for helping out! Looking forward to next steps!

[State Representative Malcolm Kenyatta @RepKenyatta]

Never a bad day when you are helping those in need! That's exactly what we did helping to prepare healthy meals for those dealing with chronic health issues at @MANNAnourishes. We did much but more can always be done!

[Ann Hoskins-Brown @Ahbinpa]

@MattRKay Sickening. And sad that you are right.

[Rep. Darisha Parker @RepDarisha]

I had the privilege of learning about and touring @MANNANourishes and saw just how much of an impact they're making with the distribution of nutritious meals. Healthy food often leads to a healthy lifestyle, and MANNA's a resource for anyone in dire need within our community.
