Dear John,

Join Health Affairs this Wednesday, March 19 for a virtual event examining the potential policy and administrative changes surrounding the Medicaid program and what they may mean in terms of coverage, operations, and financing.

This event is for Health Affairs Insiders only.

Poor nutrition in the US causes more than 600,000 deaths and an estimated $1.1 trillion in health care spending and lost productivity annually, as well as profound health disparities.

Food Is Medicine interventions, which incorporate nutrition-related services in medical care as part of a care plan to prevent or treat disease, can advance nutrition security, health, and equity.

But little is known about public awareness and perceptions of these interventions.

In an ahead-of-print article published this week, Ronit Ridberg and coauthors explore data aggregated from the first national survey on knowledge, perceptions, and experiences around Food Is Medicine during February–April 2023.
