Meals on Wheels

Meals on Wheels is a prominent healthcare services organization and non-profit network dedicated to addressing senior hunger and isolation in the United States. The organization supports a national network of more than 5,000 community-based programs that deliver nutritious meals, conduct safety checks, and provide social interaction to homebound older adults. By focusing on the social determinants of health (SDoH), Meals on Wheels helps seniors maintain their independence and health, which significantly reduces the incidence of malnutrition and associated healthcare costs. The organization increasingly collaborates with healthcare payers and providers to integrate nutritional interventions into value-based care models. Their comprehensive approach serves as a critical component of the geriatric care continuum, improving quality of life and reducing hospital readmissions for millions of seniors annually.
