Food is Medicine Coalition
Non-profit Organizations
We are an association of nonprofit medically tailored food and nutrition service providers.
About us
The Food is Medicine Coalition (FIMC) is a national coalition of nonprofit organizations that provide medically tailored meals (MTMs) and groceries (MTGs), medical nutrition therapy and nutrition counseling and education to people in communities across the country living with severe and chronic illnesses. We advance equitable access to these life-saving interventions through policy change, research and evaluation, and best practices. FIMC agencies created the medically tailored meal model and maintain the nutrition standards for the intervention. FIMC offers a diverse community of learning for existing practitioners and equips new organizations to launch medically tailored meal programs.
