📣The Maryland Department of Health today announced the launch of its Medically Tailored Meals program in partnership with Moveable Feast and Food & Friends, underscoring the state's commitment to improving health and cost of care through better food access and nutrition.
This program is a free, six-month service that provides freshly prepared, nutritionally balanced meals tailored to each participant's specific dietary needs.
This program is intended to support disease management, reduce hospitalizations, and elevate the quality of life for vulnerable Marylanders. The service will be available in six counties: Prince George’s, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Dorchester, Somerset, and Allegany.
In partnership with Moveable Feast and Food & Friends, participants will receive:
🥕12 frozen, medically tailored entrees per week, designed to meet individual medical requirements.
👩⚕️Oral nutrition supplements, when prescribed by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
✅Ongoing nutritional counseling and comprehensive support.
🚐Convenient home delivery for easy access.
“We can all relate to the stress of ending up in the emergency room or hospital, but for those facing the dual challenge of food insecurity and chronic illness, the stress is even greater," said Moveable Feast CEO Sue Elias. “As partners in the state's Medically Tailored Meals program, Moveable Feast and Food & Friends will deliver meals to Marylanders that not only maintain their health, but also preserve their dignity, and avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital.”
