Problem
More than half of American adults live with a diet-related chronic condition, yet most are told to "eat better" without receiving the groceries, skills, or ongoing support needed to actually change their eating habits. This gap between clinical advice and practical food access leaves patients managing conditions like diabetes and cardiometabolic disease without meaningful nutritional intervention.
Solution
FareRx provides a comprehensive Food Is Medicine program that integrates medically tailored groceries, registered dietitian nutrition counseling, diabetes education, and hands-on cooking classes into a single coordinated care plan. Members receive fresh groceries delivered weekly that are customized to their medical needs, cultural food preferences, and kitchen setup, while a dedicated Member Hospitality team provides consistent, human support without apps or chatbots. The program covers all five Food Is Medicine models—medically tailored meals, medically tailored groceries, produce prescriptions, medical nutrition therapy, and teaching kitchens—delivered by the same local team under one care plan. Clinical care is coordinated with the member's healthcare providers, and outcomes are tracked through member-reported measures on medication adherence, food stress, and dietary behavior change.
Target Audience
Primary customers are health plans, employers, and healthcare providers seeking integrated Food Is Medicine programs for their members or patients, as well as individual adults living with diet-related chronic conditions who qualify for covered nutrition support.
