Design your Food is Medicine program.
Four short questions. We map your population, your program type and our capabilities to a clear next step. Built for health plans, FQHCs, clinics, employers and community partners.
The Food is Medicine pyramid — click any tier.
Established by Tufts and adopted by ODPHP, AHA and CMMI. The pyramid maps interventions from prevention (broadest base) to treatment (highest clinical intensity). Click any tier to see what it is, who it's for, and which Fresh House programs operate there.
Medically Tailored Meals
Patients with complex diet-sensitive chronic disease & high healthcare utilization
Ready-to-eat meals designed by a Registered Dietitian for a specific clinical condition. Delivered home post-discharge or for chronic disease management. Highest evidence base for cost reduction (Harvard MTM studies show 70% ER reduction, 52% hospital admissions ↓).
- •Post-hospital discharge meals
- •Renal-tailored low-K / low-P meals
- •Cardiac DASH meals
- •Diabetic ADA-aligned meals
Three ways to run the program — no food on-site at the clinic required.
