Today marks a meaningful step forward in advancing Food Is Medicine. For too long, medically tailored meals have demonstrated strong outcomes but have not yet been fully integrated into the healthcare system. The MTM Sustainability Blueprint – released today – helps bridge that gap, outlining what’s needed to move from promising pilots to sustainable, system-level change. We're proud to support this work alongside Food is Medicine Coalition and partners. #FoodIsMedicine #FIM #HealthcareTransformation
Announcing the Medically Tailored Meal (MTM) Sustainability Blueprint! Today, FIMC, in partnership with the Harvard Law School Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation (CHLPI) and with support from the Dohmen Company Foundation, announces the release of the MTM Sustainability Blueprint, a first-of-its-kind framework designed to support the integration of medically tailored meals into the broader healthcare ecosystem. This Blueprint lays the groundwork for how #MTMs can align with existing Medicaid quality standards and healthcare structures— establishing guardrails for program design that promote quality, consistency, equity, and long-term sustainability. This is a major step forward in ensuring that MTMs, a proven, lifesaving intervention, can become a sustainable part of healthcare nationwide. We’re grateful to the many stakeholders, advocates, and partners who contributed their expertise to this effort. Read the full Blueprint here: https://lnkd.in/eGue5Yun #foodismedicine
