October 26, 2022 Alissa Wassung

Join the amazing hosts of the Gastropod podcast, Cynthia Graber and Nicky Twilley, as they explore the world of medically tailored meals in their new episode: Prescription Dinner: Can Meals Be Medicine? Gastropod looks at food through the lens of science and history.

Richard Ayoub, CEO, and the entire team at Project Angel Food in LA – a FIMC member agency – carefully describe the unique intervention that is medically tailored meals, Seth Berkowitz, Associate Professor at UNC-Chapel Hill, and other researchers discuss the evidence-base, John Baackes, CEO of L.A. Care Health Plan - the nation’s largest publicly operated health plan - talks about healthcare’s role in nourishing patients, and Alissa Wassung, Executive Director of FIMC covers healthcare policy and the future of building equitable access to MTMs.

FIMC was delighted to be interviewed and featured for the episode and impressed that the history and the power of the medically tailored meal intervention were so expertly contextualized in this session.
