Food insecurity is a long-standing problem impacting individuals and families across the globe. Lack of access to nutritious foods leads to and exacerbates chronic conditions. To treat these conditions, doctors often recommend making significant changes to one’s diet, which presents a further dilemma for those who are food insecure. Research clearly illustrates the role nutrition plays in chronic condition management. This directs us to the bigger picture: food insecurity and chronic condition management are mutually exclusive. Successful condition management of large populations cannot occur while food insecurity is still a problem.

This webinar will provide a deeper understanding of the multiple roles that health insurance providers can play in addressing food insecurity for members through a panel discussion of industry experts who have implemented solutions designed to address food insecurity. We'll also share tangible methods for how health insurance providers can lead the charge in addressing food insecurity while simultaneously improving the member experience.

Attendees Will Learn

• How to screen for populations that could benefit from chronic conditions coaching combined with a Food as Medicine program
• How to integrate food delivery into new or existing comprehensive population health programs that will elevate market competitiveness and improve member satisfaction
• How to identify key clinical outcomes, as well as improvements in areas beyond food insecurity
