New Mom's Meals white paper examines how to scale food as medicine to improve outcomes and reduce healthcare costs

Mom’s Meals released a new white paper examining how to scale “food as medicine” to improve outcomes and lower total healthcare costs. The document, announced in Ankeny, Iowa, on July 14, 2026 through PRNewswire, is titled Food as Medicine at Scale: Targeted Nutrition Interventions to Improve Outcomes and Reduce Total Cost of Care. It argues that nutrition interventions are moving beyond isolated pilots by outlining evidence, implementation strategies, and policy opportunities for integrating nutrition into care delivery at scale. Chris Choi, CEO of Mom’s Meals, said the question has shifted from whether nutrition improves outcomes to how to identify the right populations and build sustainable models with measurable results. The paper draws on over 25 years of experience, discusses medically tailored meals, nutrition counseling, and operational delivery infrastructure, and notes policy pathways in Medicaid and Medicare Advantage. It says evidence supports benefits for high-risk populations and calls for expanding access more fully into care.
