Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Grant Awarded
to Study Impact of
Medically Tailored Meals
|
Community Servings was recently awarded a prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Evidence for Action grant to evaluate our Food is Medicine approach on health. Through this grant, we'll partner with Massachusetts General Hospital and Massachusetts Department of Public Health to evaluate the impact of our medically tailored meals program on healthcare expenditures, inpatient hospitalization, and ER visits in severely ill and nutritionally vulnerable adults.
Community Servings is one of just 16 grantees out of hundreds of applicants
, and the only nonprofit social service organization, awarded funding. The resulting data will be instrumental in building the evidence base for our work and that of the broader Food is Medicine field.
"Our team has long understood that malnutrition is a significant factor in the worsening health outcomes of individuals facing disease and chronic illness," said David B. Waters, CEO of Community Servings. "By building a data-driven case for the impact of integrating accessible, medically appropriate meals into the healthcare system, we hope to fundamentally change public policy."

February's Heart Health Month reminds us that heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. According to our dietitians, heart disease prevention starts with a heart healthy diet - a diet high in fiber, fruits, and vegetables, and low in saturated fat,
trans fats, added sugar and salt.
Not only does this healthy eating pattern help prevent heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, it may also reduce your risk of cancer and other diseases.
