Harnessing the power of nutrition to prevent and treat disease, reduce healthcare costs, and improve quality of life statewide. We are a new coalition in WV seeking partners to help advance our mission.
The West Virginia Food is Medicine Coalition unites healthcare systems, nonprofits, and academic institutions to make nutrition a cornerstone of healthcare. Through our programs, we work to prevent, manage, and treat diet-related diseases — improving lives and strengthening communities.
Food is Medicine (FIM) integrates nutrition into healthcare delivery — ensuring that access to healthy food becomes part of the treatment plan. From medically tailored meals to produce prescriptions, these programs address the root causes of chronic illness and promote long-term wellness.
We’re always looking for new partners, advocates, and supporters to help expand Food is Medicine programs across the Mountain State.
Dive into blog posts that highlight programs, partnerships, and people advancing Food Is Medicine initiatives and transforming health through access to nutritious food.
The collaborative effort involves several West Virginia University entities, including WVU Extension, the WVU Institute for Community and Rural Health and the Nourish WV Initiative.
