SoHC's Take
The Nourish-ModifyHealth partnership signifies a crucial advancement in the “food as medicine” movement. By offering medically tailored meals, this collaboration directly addresses the health challenges posed by food insecurity, particularly for those with chronic conditions. The ability to integrate SNAP/WIC and work with health plans to subsidize costs further breaks down barriers, ensuring that more individuals can access the nutrition they need. This partnership is a powerful example of how healthcare and nutrition can come together to deliver significant improvements in public health.
