WBUR Spotlights Community Servings Amid Medicaid Meal Policy Debate

WBUR reported Saturday that officials are weighing policy on medically tailored meals, the prescribed nutrition that Jamaica Plain nonprofit Community Servings delivers to chronically ill Medicaid recipients. A study published in Nature Medicine found that about 1,900 Massachusetts residents who received the meals for at least three months had 20% fewer emergency department visits and 31% fewer hospitalizations than similar patients who did not. "It actually saves the healthcare system money," said Tufts cardiologist Dariush Mozaffarian, who led the study.
