Food Is Medicine Coalition

The Food Is Medicine Coalition (FIMC) is a national association of nonprofit organizations that provide medically tailored meals (MTMs), nutrition counseling, and medical nutrition therapy to individuals living with severe and chronic illnesses. FIMC advocates for public policy that integrates nutrition into the healthcare system and promotes research on the efficacy of food-based interventions. The coalition's members serve a diverse range of patients, including those with HIV/AIDS, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases, aiming to improve health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs through specialized nutrition. FIMC also works to establish national standards for medically tailored nutrition services and supports the scaling of these interventions through healthcare reimbursement models.
