🥗 Food is medicine—and new data from upstate #NewYork underscores this fundamental truth. The Healthy Eating Pilot Program, a collaborative effort between Unite Us, Jordan Health, and Foodlink in the Finger Lakes region of upstate #NewYork, connected food-insecure patients with #Type2Diabetes (T2D) to vital community-based #foodassistance. Participants received fresh produce, essential cookware, and user-friendly recipe cards, leading to some truly inspiring outcomes: ‣ 72% of participants increased their fruit and vegetable consumption ‣ 67% of participants reported improved #foodsecurity ‣ 53% of participants reduced their stress levels ‣ 50% of participants improved their #HbA1C ‣ 42% of participants increased the number of mental and physical healthy days per month 🗨️ “This program shows that we can tackle major public health challenges through partnership, #technology, and innovation,” said Unite Us’ Dr. Amanda Terry, PhD, MPH, MA. “By addressing non-clinical needs, we not only improve individual outcomes but also create a replicable model that communities across the country can adopt.” Not only did this program demonstrably improve health and food outcomes for participants, but thanks to Unite Us’ platform and reimbursement infrastructure, it also kept critical dollars flowing through the community. 💰 “Partnerships like this benefit the participants, improve health outcomes, and keep dollars circulating within local communities,” said Dr. Mitch Gruber, PhD, Chief Impact Officer at Foodlink. By addressing food insecurity and promoting healthier eating habits, the program has not only improved health outcomes but also reduced financial burdens on the healthcare system. 🍽️💪 Read the full Press Release: https://bit.ly/43pelwJ #HealthyEating #HealthOutcomes #CommunityImpact #FoodisMedicine
