Chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity are among the leading causes of poor health and rising healthcare costs in the U.S.—and diet is at the root of the problem.

 

On March 12 at 2:00 PM Eastern, NourishedRx and Wake County, NC will discuss why Wake County decided to leverage a Food is Health program to manage and prevent chronic disease among food-insecure populations, bolster their local agricultural economy, and reduce healthcare costs. Gain insight into the how, as NourishedRx shares their approach to scale and bring together local health department and local government entities, food suppliers, healthcare providers, and individuals to tackle food insecurity, improve health outcomes, and support local agriculture.

 

Participants will also experience a demo of the NourishedRx platform, highlighting the role of member engagement, data collection, access to highly personalized, culturally sensitive food, and nutrition education can serve as the foundation for holistic health and prevention.
