Transforming Healthcare Through Nutrition: Food IS Medicine

At the heart of our health care revolution lies the groundbreaking principle of Food is Medicine —a movement that champions the critical role of nutrition in enhancing health outcomes, lightening the load on hospitals, and ushering in significant savings in healthcare costs. Spearheaded by the pioneering research at the Food is Medicine Institute of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University, our initiatives, including the innovative Medically Tailored Meals (MTMs) and produce prescription programs, have demonstrated their efficacy in not only curbing hospitalizations but also in propelling billions in healthcare savings. More profoundly, these interventions are pivotal in diminishing food insecurity and fostering health equity, all while amplifying the quality of life.


In collaboration with ChristianaCare, LCS takes pride in being the cornerstone of delivering medically tailored foods to every Delaware Food Farmacy patient. Our journey since 2021 has been marked by remarkable milestones—over 113,000 meals delivered to Delawareans embarking on a path of transformative health.


Beyond the physical health benefits, the Food is Medicine concept has been a beacon of mental wellness, with 18% of Delaware Food Farmacy graduates reporting a significant reduction in anxiety related to accessing healthy, sustainable food sources. These achievements are a testament to the profound impact of integrating nutrition security into healthcare.
