Healthcare Provider Testimonials
Not only do these meals nourish, but they also hold promise for keeping people out of the hospital, preventing health crises, and allowing people to maintain independence at home.
–Hilary Seligman, MD, MAS, Professor of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco
Maximal compliance with drug therapy doesn’t keep congestive heart failure patients out of the hospital without dietary adherence. Medically tailored meals are a potentially easy win all around. Sick or elderly patients can stay home and remain independent, while reduced hospital admissions dramatically reduces health care costs and overall burden on the system.
–Tanvir Hussain, MD, clinical cardiologist, & CalFIMC Advisory Council member
“Our meals are balanced and made from scratch with emphasis on whole grains and vegetables and without the use of processed foods, to adhere to recommendations for sodium intake for the management of heart disease and other medical conditions.”
–Kimberly Madsen, MEd, RD, Director of Nutrition Services, Project Open Hand
Fruits and vegetables can heal….With the right food, you’re going to stay away from the hospital.
–Katelyn Tran, nutrition services manager, Project Angel Food
