Food is Medicine Consulting

Food is Medicine Consulting

Our team offers Food is Medicine (FIM) program consulting support for food banks and their healthcare partners. Food is Medicine programming includes brokering new healthcare partnerships through a clinic/healthy pantry referral pathway, designing a food pantry supportive of people with diet-related chronic disease, or any food intervention designed to support access to healthy, culturally desired food for at-risk patients and the broader community.

Our team supports food banks and their partners in thoughtfully expanding current Food is Medicine programming or embarking on a new healthcare partnership journey to fulfill their mission work.

Food is Medicine consulting support includes developing a business strategy. Our team supports groups as they define different components of a strategy including defining a value proposition, you core offerings/services, and a plan to engage your healthcare funders as long-terms partners.

Past Food is Medicine projects include healthy food pantry design for Feeding America of Riverside | San Bernadino, design for a community collaboration toolkit for MANNA FoodBank, and project management support for the CVS Health Zones initiative, including grant and evalution support for Central California Food Bank’s First Fruits Market recently highlighted in Food Bank News.
