17 Jan 2024 --- Among rising healthcare spending, food insecurity and diet-related diseases, the US Food Is Medicine (FIM) Institute calls to implement FIM interventions across federal, regional and local levels to increase population-wide nutrition security, health equity and wellness. Such programs integrate food-based nutritional interventions into healthcare. The institute explains that the practice includes programs to provide relevant or tailored nutrition to patients, free or at a discount, to support disease management, prevention or optimal health linked to the healthcare system as part of a treatment plan.
