Food is Medicine with Michelle Axe and Rob Gurnee
Food can play a critical role in someone's health, especially in managing a chronic illness. One approach is helping patients eat better and stay healthier, and it's a concept called Food is Medicine.
The Food is Medicine program at ChristianaCare is called the Delaware Food Farmacy, and it is changing the way that patients eat.
In this week's episode of For the Love of Health, Michelle Axe, program manager of Food and Social Care Initiatives at ChristianaCare, and Rob Gurnee, the executive director of Lutheran Community Services in Wilmington share how the Food is Medicine concept is changing the way we are improving nutrition insecurity in the community.
Learn how the shift from food insecurity to nutrition security can help keep patients healthy at home.
