NourishedRx - Feed Your Health
We’re happy to announce our newest partnership, NourishedRx, and our inclusion in the Feed Your Health program.
Participants receive a box of meals delivered right to their door.
NourishedRx is a national organization that partners with health plans and providers to deliver Food is Medicine programs to various patient groups. Their mission is to drive health by making healthy, high quality food accessible - recognizing that a poor diet is a driver of chronic disease. The Good Bowls mission aligns wll with NourishedRx, so it is an ideal partnership to help both of our organizations continue to build healthy communities.
Good Bowls heat up with just 5 minutes in the microwave making eating healthy easier than ever.
The Feed Your Health program was developed in conjunction with Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina. This program targets people with a diabetes diaganosis that have an A1c over 8%. The Feed Your Health program is a multi-month intervention that starts with 3 weeks of healthy frozen medically tailored meals and is followed by 13 more weeks of meal kits, food boxes, or groceries delivered to participant’s homes. This healthy food is paired with individualized consultations with a registered dietician with the goal of increasing people’s health through easy access to healthy food and education.
The grits and collards bowl - a healthy spin on the true southern classic and part of the Good Bowls medically tailored meal line up.
Equiti Foods is providing medically tailored frozen Good Bowls for the first phase of the Feed Your Health program to Nourished Rx clients in central and eastern North Carolina. During our participation in the North Carolina Health Opportunities program in recent years we developed a full line of medically tailored meals that meet the dietary guidelines for heart healthy, carb-controlled, and kidney friendly meals - our carb-controlled line is ideal for Nourished Rx clients with an A1c over 8% who are managing diabetes. Our meals are tailored to local cultural preferences and include Carolina favorites like Turkey Meatballs and Mash, Chicken Country Captain, Grits and Collards, and Golden Panko Chicken.
The whole wheat pasta with turkey and vegetables is a customer favorite and ideal for a variety of programs looking to provide people with easy access to healthy food
NourishedRx operates a number of other programs that focus on Food Is Medicine with the aim of improving people’s and community’s health through access to healthy and delicious food. In addition to diabetes management, their other programs target maternal health, food insecurity, people in transitional housing, and longer term clients dealing with chronic disease. As Equiti Foods grows a solid foundation through Feed Your Health we hope to reach even more clients through NourishedRx’s other varied programs…..stay tuned.
