8,000 served across Massachusetts. 200,000 could benefit. Expanding access means scaling what works.

New in @NatureMedicine.
The largest Medicaid study of medically tailored meals to date finds they essentially pay for themselves.
Nearly 2,000 patients. 31% fewer hospitalizations. 20% fewer ED visits. Savings offset 98% of the meals.

Medicaid showed what works. Medicare is next.
A bipartisan pilot in Congress, co-led by @RepMcGovern, would test the model nationally.
The evidence is here.

The lesson is that rigor matters.
These meals met the Food is Medicine Coalition standard, designed by dietitians and built around each diagnosis.
Lower-quality meal programs should not expect to see these outcomes.

Food is medicine, and medically tailored meals save lives.
HUGE thank you to @communityserv for providing nutritious, scratch-cooked meals to people with chronic disease. My bill—the Medically Tailored Home-Delivered Meals Program Pilot Act—will expand access to those life saving meals & #EndHungerNow.

Did you know medical students are learning how to cook as part of their training?
For decades, we’ve seen how medically tailored meals and the power of food itself can support health — and now that work is being taught firsthand in our kitchen.

With research showing reduced hospitalizations and lower healthcare costs, Food Is Medicine isn’t theoretical. It’s practical. And it works.

Medically tailored meals are a powerful intervention proven to reduce hospitalizations and lower healthcare costs—yet they remain underutilized in most healthcare systems.

Last week, TBC’ers volunteered at @communityserv, a Boston-based nonprofit that prepares nutritious meals for individuals and families facing critical and chronic illnesses.
Giving back to our community is core to our mission at Ten Bridge, and partnering with Community Servings is always an inspiring experience. We were proud to support their commitment to providing nutritious, home-delivered meals to those in need. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
