Food As Medicine 
Resources for Program Participants

Our Food as Medicine program helps people who have ongoing health problems and struggle to get enough healthy food. We provide healthy groceries and nutrition advice for 6 months. Here’s what we offer:

Medically Tailored Groceries (MTG): We give you a box of groceries every week or every two weeks (you choose). The box has enough food for at least 10 meals per person in your home. The food is chosen to help with health issues like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and obesity.

Nutrition Counseling: Once a month, you can talk with a Registered Dietitian by phone for free. They will teach you about healthy eating, planning meals, budgeting for food, preparing food, storing food, staying active, and drinking enough water.

​

Online Resources: We also offer recipes, tips, and information to help you eat healthier. You can use these resources forever, and we hope they help you keep up with healthy eating even after the program ends.

To join the program, you need to get a medical check-up and a referral from your doctor to see if you qualify. We work with Saratoga Hospital Community Health Center, Whitney Young Health, and the ACPHS Collaboratory.
