Food is Medicine Day is Just Around the Corner! On Sept. 14, we celebrate the power of food as a vital component of our health. We know food impacts health. Food is Medicine Day raises awareness of embedded barriers to healthy food access for disinvested communities and individuals. Food is more than just sustenance — it's a powerful tool for healing and preventing future illness. And our relationship with food is evolving. The Food as Medicine movement emphasizes: 🍎The powerful combination of nutrition and medical care to prevent and manage chronic diseases 🍎Produce prescriptions and medically tailored meals/groceries Food as Medicine is a revolution in the making. In Kansas and Missouri, we have everything we need to solve health issues that have troubled our communities for decades. Most importantly, we have the people who can make it happen. #FIMDAY #foodismedicineday #foodismedicine

Cross sector collaboration and systemic systems change catching my eye. Great report and resource: “Systems Change While partnerships focused on referrals systems across anti-hunger partners and health care providers are essential, systems improvements need to be put into place to ensure the widest and most sustainable reach. Key improvements include: improving system interoperability to seamlessly connect individuals to all available programs streamlining application systems to ensure that when an individual or household is enrolled in Medicaid that they also are connected to SNAP and WIC when eligible data sharing to identify potentially eligible households and individuals who are participating in Medicaid and may be eligible for SNAP and WIC but not yet participating and cross-agency promotion of programs, such as Medicaid agencies promoting the availability and importance of federal nutrition programs to health. Investments in systems change will result in benefits for patients and help drive reductions in health care costs as more eligible people are connected to nutrition programs.” Jason Zibart Julia Strange Rhegan Derfus Gary Kartchner Dennis Walto, MA Barbara Lang Evelyn Whitmer Rachel Leih Michele Walsh

Thinking about standing up a Maternal Health Nutrition Program for FY2025 to ensure moms and their newborns get the best start in life? Got leftover budget for FY2024 to stand up a targeted post discharge Nutrition Program to lower re-admission rates for cancer patients? Maybe you're planning a study to determine the efficacy and ROI of medically-tailored meals vs medically-tailored groceries for young working adults suffering from diabetes? Or maybe, you just got funding to lower the use of expensive acute medical services by military personnel or veterans suffering from chronic disease and need medically-tailored meals? Working through the lens of Health Equity, The Cook's Nook helps healthcare organizations to drive better health outcomes through direct access to high-quality chef-driven nutrition (not just calories!) for vulnerable populations living at the intersection of nutrition insecurity and medical condition, be it pregnancy, diabetes, renal disease or heart disease. Let us know how we can help develop a nutritional program for your organization to drive better outcomes for the target populations you serve.
We are proud to reflect on the "Food is the Best Medicine" program at Ascension Seton, where nutritious meals are provided to new mothers facing food insecurity. This program not only reduces stress for moms and increases food security but also holds the potential for better health outcomes (research is ongoing!). The data gathered through this pilot program will help study the impact of food access on breastfeeding rates and duration, improvements in mothers' mental health scores, better physical health outcomes for both mothers and babies, changes in home cooking habits and food insecurity after the program ends, and the effectiveness of community health workers versus online resources in reducing food insecurity and improving outcomes. The program is funded by the Ascension Seton Foundation, with support from The Cook's Nook and Farmshare Austin, as well as research by the Michael and Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living at the UTHealth Houston School of Public Health in Austin. We are honored to be part of this initiative and look forward to seeing its continued growth and success.

1moReally looking forward to this conversation with the Brave Starts members. We all know that what we eat matters for our health - a great way to increase healthspan. But with so many, often mixed, messages out there, we are often left confused about what really is worth focusing on. My aim will be to bring a bit more clarity!
