Dear John,

In a new Health Policy Brief published today
<[link removed]>,
Dariush Mozaffarian outlines how measuring and addressing nutrition
security can help achieve health and health equity.
Nutrition-related disease causes significant morbidity and mortality and
contributes to health inequities. Although often associated with food
insecurity, which is about access to calories, nutrition insecurity is
about access to healthful, nourishing foods.
In the brief, Mozaffarian discusses the evolution of health care, public
health, and policy toward nutrition security. Key points in the brief
include:
* New screening tools and interventions for nutrition security should be
centered on the assessment and consideration of health equity.
* Health system interventions to bring about nutrition security include
medically tailored meals, produce prescriptions, food education for both
patients and providers, and electronic nutrition security screening and
referral tools.

Fendrick review the implications of the decision and how it might affect
preventive care

Elsewhere in Forefront, Richard Hughes IV argues that the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services has the administrative authority to
resolve the coverage challenges

that senior citizens face for current and future vaccines through three

influential voices and organizations who have made an impact on women's
health equity and policy.
In 1984, the National Partnership for Women & Families, formerly known
as the Women's Legal Defense Fund, wrote the first draft of the
legislation that later became the Family and Medical Leave Act. The act
was signed into law in 1993.
