Open the post“Food Is Medicine (FIM) is an approach to health care that recognizes the critical role nutrition and access to healthy food can play in preventing and managing chronic disease. But what does FIM look like in practice, and what does it take to deliver these interventions effectively and equitably? Our first panel at this year's GA FIM Summit will explore the evolving FIM landscape, grounded in the Food Is Medicine Coalition’s standards and best practices and the importance of quality, consistency, and fidelity in delivering medically tailored food interventions. Panelists will then discuss how FIM is being integrated across a range of clinical settings and health care systems, including opportunities to connect patients with nutrition interventions as part of their care.”
