Medically Tailored Meals
Food Is Medicine 
Providing nutritional support for older adults is the core value of our organization.
Our Medically Tailored Meals program goes further — offering dynamic support for individuals who are medically vulnerable, have chronic health conditions, or face other risk factors for hospitalization.
What Are Medically Tailored Meals?
Medically Tailored Meals (MTM) is an evidence-based, home-delivered, nutritional intervention program tailored to meet the dietary needs of individuals with medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, COPD, and other chronic illnesses.
Our MTM program includes:
- Medically tailored meal plans crafted by registered dietitians and culinary professionals
- Nutrition built to support healing, medication effectiveness, and chronic disease management
- Regular delivery right to participants’ homes
- Condition monitoring, nutrition education, and social support integrated into care
This approach aligns with the growing “Food Is Medicine” movement, which recognizes that targeted nutrition is an essential part of preventive care and chronic disease management.
Why It Matters
Research shows that tailored nutrition significantly improves health outcomes and quality of life for people living with chronic conditions or recovering from illness — including:
- Reduced hospital readmissions and emergency visits
- Improved ability to manage chronic conditions
- Better overall quality of life and reduced stress
For people recently discharged from the hospital — particularly those facing food insecurity — MTM has been shown to help stabilize health when proper nutrition may be the difference between recovery and rehospitalization.
