29 Jan 2024 — To identify effective “food is medicine” approaches that incorporate healthy food into health care delivery, the American Heart Association (AHA) will reward US$7.9 million to 19 research projects as part of its Health Care by Food initiative. The projects will examine the efficacy of adding healthy food provisions to patient care, aiming to help treat, manage and prevent chronic health conditions and alleviate health inequities. 

“With the involvement of stakeholders across the public health ecosystem, we aim to mobilize US$250 million toward building a future in which people and communities nationwide have equitable access to healthy food to treat and prevent chronic health conditions,” says Nancy Brown, CEO at AHA.
