Our Vision
A California where all people have access to appropriate nutrition services that address their medical needs. We represent persons with acute and chronic diseases, across the health care continuum, who are at risk of becoming sicker without proper food and nutrition support services.
Our Mission
To develop, refine, and sustain models where medical nutrition services are an integral part of cost-effective and high quality health care in order to improve the health of all California communities.
In the 2017/18 budget, the California Legislature and Governor Brown approved a three-year, $6 million pilot to evaluate the impact of a medically tailored meal intervention on the health outcomes and health care costs of seriously ill Medi-Cal patients. Our coalition partners are providing the services.
The California Food is Medicine Coalition (Cal FIMC), the leading Nutrition Services providers in the state that serve thousands of clients annually with coverage across seven counties, offers a unique, cost-effective, high-quality managed-care solution for improving health outcomes for critically-ill clients.
See what the New York Times, The Huffington Post and other media are saying about our work and the impact of Food is Medicine efforts in California and across the country.
