Our Story

---

One of the main barriers to starting and maintaining Food as Medicine programs is sustainable sources of supportive funding. Many projects receive grant funding that is time-limited and cannot support a permanent service. For this reason, we are passionate advocates in finding funding streams offering uninterrupted services and even program growth through measurable success. 

Promoting healthy eating and lifestyles among populations with limited resources is a complex undertaking that often requires strong partnerships between various agencies. In local communities, these agencies are typically located in different areas, serve diverse subgroups, and operate distinct programs, limiting their communication and interactions with each other. We help support strong partnership between agencies facilitating unity to do good things together. 

We are learning (and listening) that hospital leadership and staff must walk a difficult line between strict budgets and the need to implement emerging benefits. Scarce resources are often a primary barrier and extend beyond just direct financial resource limits, but also include limited staff, and time. 

New program adopters are often expected to take on added responsibilities and struggle to find a new balance. Understanding time is a precious commodity in short supply, we're here to help see Food as Medicine adoption through by  offering leadership, champions, and team supporters, enabling the capacity building and time savings needed for planning and executing positive sustainable change.
