As we kick off 2018, we are renewing our commitment to making medically tailored meals a benefit covered by Medi-Cal! In 2016, at least 5 of the leading causes of death in the US were connected to an unhealthy diet. Nutrition should be a right for all, not a privilege for a few!

"60% of deaths in the US are related to poor diets; we are simply eating ourselves sick."
Take a healthy snack break & listen to @CeresCathryn speak to the staggering benefits of nutritious food & why policy change is key to improving population health! bit.ly/2QvQuqD
