Engaging children and adolescents in healthcare is one of the most challenging tasks. Often, caregivers aren't the parents, and as the Surgeon General pointed out yesterday, many caregivers are worn out. The barriers to care go beyond vaccine hesitancy—many face significant obstacles in accessing healthcare. While I am proud of all the work we do at FarmboxRx, I have a special passion for our efforts with children and maternity populations. A perfect storm is brewing: caregivers are exhausted, pharmacy and healthcare deserts are expanding, many SDoH barriers like transportation challenges continue to impact children's access to care. Thank you, Tina Reed, and Axios, for shedding light on such a critical issue in our healthcare system. #caregivers #SDoH https://lnkd.in/eemttsHN

We are always proud to give back to our valued partners and their members in creating happier and healthier lives. Thank you Ambetter Health for including us in this past weekend's Ambetter Health Day in Nashville, TN. We love spending time with our members in their communities – and this time showcasing a simple, yet delicious guacamole recipe, one of the many recipes featured in our health education materials. #valuedpartnership #ambetterhealthday #givingback #healtheducation

Last week, I had the honor of traveling to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to meet with Admiral Rachel Levine. We discussed the important work FarmboxRx is doing within healthcare, particularly our innovative approach to scaling food as medicine nationwide within Medicare and Medicaid. I also brought my daughter, Harlow along so she could see firsthand why I'm on the road so often and how my work is helping to shape a better healthcare system for everyone. A big thank you to David Goldstein M.S., OTR for making the connection—plus, it was great to finally meet in real life!

One of seven people in the state of Tennessee face hunger, and 40 percent of families with children report being food insecure. FarmboxRx’s newly announced partnership with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (BCBST) will expand access to nutritious foods to Tennesseans, during a time where many residents continue to struggle with the affordability and accessibility - leaving them at higher risk for developing long-term health issues. Through FarmboxRx’s innovative food as engagement program, BCBST members will receive deliveries of healthy food with condition specific health education shipped directly to their doors. https://lnkd.in/e-GyS6DP #newpartnership #foodasengagement #improvingoutcomes #preventativecare

We’re thrilled to partner with BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee to improve health outcomes by tackling and addressing these social drivers through community-based solutions and proactive healthcare interventions. https://lnkd.in/d7viYeMY Connect with us to learn more about our food as engagement solutions that aim to improve health outcomes, inspire member engagement, and create lasting behavioral change. www.farmboxrx.com #foodinsecurity #foodasengagement #sdoh #memberengagement #healthoutcomes

Food insecurity costs the U.S. health care system $53 billion annually. This, and other social determinants of health (SDoH), can trigger chronic disease and fuel costly ER visits, hospitalizations, and readmissions. Access to healthy food, customized health literacy, and seamless access to vital plan benefits are just some of the ways our food as engagement solutions tackle SDoH barriers beyond food – saving health plans millions of dollars. https://lnkd.in/gCPkeWR2 #foodasengagement #foodasmedicine #foodinsecurity #sdoh #healthliteracy
