One in three Americans has a condition where food is part of the standard of care. Yet, half of them struggle with consistent access to nutrient-dense foods and the support they need to be healthy. The promise of food as medicine offers hope and real solutions to empower people to live their best lives. That's why we celebrate Food is Medicine Day every September 14th. Initiated in 2021 by Food Equality Initiative, Inc. and Attane Health (formerly known as Free From Market), Food is Medicine Day was created to raise awareness of the challenges many face in accessing nutritious food and the opportunity for private enterprise, nonprofits, and governments to collaborate.
