Proud to be among 250 attendees from nearly 40 states and D.C. attending Food is Medicine Advocacy Day 2026 on Capitol Hill. We’re spending the day educating Congress on Food is Medicine (FIM) in healthcare, including Medically Tailored Meals, Medically Tailored Groceries, Produce Prescriptions, nutrition research and nutrition education.

The Advocacy Day reflects the spectrum of multi-sector enthusiasm and support for Food is Medicine - participants include patients and participants in FIM programs; physicians; registered dietitians; non-profit and for-profit providers of medically tailored meals, medically tailored groceries, and produce prescriptions; community organizations implementing FIM programs; food banks; healthcare systems; life insurers; researchers; farmers, and more, with experience in all facets of FIM.

The Food is Medicine Advocacy Day was organized by Tufts Food is Medicine Institute (@tufts_fimi) at Tufts University with the following collaborators: Pennington Biomedical Research Center (@PBRCNews), American Heart Association (@American_Heart), Instacart (@Instacart), John Hancock (@johnhancockusa), National Produce Prescription Collaborative (@NPPC_USA), Appalachian Refional Health, Capital Area Food Bank, Food is Medicine Coalition and the National Association of Community Health Centers #foodismedicine #lalege #Lagov #LSU
