Food is Medicine.
This week, Food Lifeline welcomed Erin Dugan and Janie Dulaney from the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee, alongside community leaders and partners from across Washington, for a Food Is Medicine Forum at the Hunger Solution Center.
Facilitated by Max Brown of Desimone Consulting Group, the discussion focused on strengthening connections between nutrition and health, supporting proven programs, and identifying sustainable pathways to grow Food Is Medicine initiatives. Participants shared insights on what's working, where improvements are needed, and how these efforts can be sustained through reliable funding.
Attendees also toured Lifelong's medically tailored meals program to see this work in action and learn how nutritious meals are improving lives every day.
We're inspired by the collaboration and innovation happening across Washington and look forward to continuing the conversation and advancing Food Is Medicine initiatives statewide.
