We're thrilled to be presenting "Food is Health in Action: How Blues Plans Are Advancing Cardiometabolic and Maternal Health Through Nutrition" in the Member Engagement Track at the #FierceHealthPayerSummit next week! 🗓️ Thursday, December 4th 🕝 2:30pm Our Director of Customer Success, Amy Bloomquist, will be joined by Yara Elbeshbishi, MPH of CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield and Marie Malinowski, MAEd, MFA, CSM of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota for a discussion about how these plans are leveraging culturally responsive food delivery, nutrition coaching, and technology-driven engagement to overcome barriers to healthy eating, address root cause drivers of health, build trust, and improve clinical outcomes. 

“So we flipped the model.” When our Founder & CEO Lauren Driscoll launched NourishedRx, she knew that mass-produced meals from faraway kitchens couldn't serve as the foundation for a sustainable, high quality Food is Health program. Instead, NourishedRx built a model that prioritizes: 🥘 Locally sourced, culturally meaningful food 🤝 Community partnerships with trusted farms, kitchens, and grocers 👪 Programs that reflect the real lives of the people they’re meant to serve Read more in Lauren’s interview with One Potato: https://hubs.ly/Q03QLnmR0

Having the right support systems in place can make all the difference when it comes to making a lifestyle change. When Michael's weight more than doubled following a hip replacement, he felt imprisoned in his own body. A run-in with a personal trainer helped him drop his first 100 pounds, but he still struggled with emotional eating. During a stressful period in his life, his weight began to creep back up, and he knew he had to regain control of his habits. With the help of NourishedRx, Michael received not just the physical health support he needed, but also the nutrition education, personalized guidance, and the emotional and social support he needed to make a sustainable lifestyle change. This is his story: https://hubs.ly/Q03TRDDs0 #NourishedRx #FoodIsHealth #MemberStory #MemberImpact #Nutrition #LifestyleChange #ChronicConditionManagement

Healthcare spending is higher than ever, and much of it stems from the way our food environment drives chronic disease. People aren't choosing poor diets. They’re navigating a food landscape flooded with ultra-processed products and marketing that undermines their health. This is where healthcare must step in—not just with treatment and pharmaceutical interventions, but by increasing access to real, nutritious food. At NourishedRx, we believe Food is Health. It’s a foundational lever for prevention, and a powerful way to drive better outcomes at scale. Watch the full conversation with our Founder & CEO, Lauren Driscoll, and our Chief Growth Officer, Spencer Pratt, or connect with us at Booth 104 at the #FierceHealthPayerSummit this December to learn more about how NourishedRx is advancing the new standard of care. https://hubs.ly/Q03SHGGw0 #FoodisHealth #NourishedRx #FoodIsMedicine #ChronicDisease #Prevention
