Eligibility lives in one system
Clinical need, food insecurity, benefits, preferences, and household realities are rarely available together when a program must act.
Food as Medicine
Food support is only powerful when it becomes completed care.
HealthLink360 connects nutrition benefits, clinical goals, community partners, and everyday follow-through, so health systems and payers can see what reached the patient, what changed, and what got in the way.

The missing infrastructureAt enrollment After referral At evaluation
A prescription is not the same as food on the table.
Food as Medicine programs often span clinics, payers, community organizations, retailers, delivery partners, and patients. Each can do its part while the full story still disappears between systems.
Fulfillment becomes a black box
A referral can be sent without confirming that food was selected, delivered, usable, culturally appropriate, or sustained.
Activity is mistaken for impact
Programs count referrals and boxes. Leaders need a defensible link between access, engagement, barriers, clinical change, and utilization.

More than 30 Chat & Chews with D.C. government offices.
Over the past several months, HealthLink360 has worked with offices in D.C. government to bring Food as Medicine into real conversation. Chat & Chews create a welcoming space where people can ask questions, share what already works, and make healthier eating feel practical rather than prescriptive.
30+community conversations held over the past several months
Explore how ingredients from a home garden or neighborhood grocery store can support more health-conscious meals.
Discuss satisfying ways to reduce excess calories without framing food around shame or restriction.
Translate the nutritional properties of everyday foods into realistic choices people can use at home.
Listen directly to the preferences, barriers, questions, and cultural context that shape how people actually eat.

Identify. Match. Manage. Measure.
Through adaptive intervention management, HealthLink360 works with food providers and clinical systems. It coordinates the handoffs and returns a shared, patient-authorized record of action.
Identify
Combine clinical criteria, food access, preferences, and program eligibility.
Match
Route each person to the right meal, produce, pantry, benefit, or education partner.
Manage
Coordinate delivery, everyday use, barriers, reassessment, and step-down to lower-intensity support when appropriate.
Measure
Track receipt, use, patient experience, and outcomes; return source-linked evidence to program leaders and care teams.
Program-flexible by design
Connect the intervention you already believe in.
The same evidence layer can support a focused pilot or a portfolio of nutrition services without flattening them into one generic workflow.
MTM
Medically tailored meals
Coordinate clinical eligibility, dietitian guidance, delivery, adherence barriers, and transitions for people with complex diet-sensitive conditions.
Rx
Produce prescriptions
Connect prescriptions to redemption and everyday use while making affordability, transportation, retail access, and preference visible.
FP
Food pharmacies and benefits
Link screening, enrollment, food pickup, SNAP or WIC navigation, education, and clinical follow-up across community partners.
Evidence, without overclaiming30 studies 9 programs Mixed results
The signal is promising. The program design still matters.
Research supports better food access and engagement, while clinical and cost outcomes vary by intervention, population, and study design. HealthLink360 helps programs measure what actually happened instead of assuming a referral caused an outcome.
A Community Guide systematic review found fruit and vegetable incentive programs generally improved food insecurity and fruit and vegetable consumption among lower-income populations.
Read the reviewA multisite produce prescription evaluation reported improvements in diet, food security, and several cardiometabolic measures, though it used a pre-post design without a randomized control.
Read the evaluationA randomized intensive Food as Medicine trial improved preventive care engagement but did not improve glycemic control versus usual care, reinforcing the need for rigorous measurement.
Read the trialEvidence summaries are educational, not guarantees of clinical outcomes, utilization changes, or savings. Program eligibility, coverage, and reimbursement vary by payer, state, population, and authority.
From conversation to daily action
Meal planning that responds to the whole health picture.
Inside HealthLink360, meal planning can bring together the information a person chooses to share about their health, goals, routines, preferences, access, and available ingredients. The result is not a generic menu. It is practical guidance that can adapt as the person and their circumstances change.

Turn nutrition support into evidence of care.
Bring one program, one population, and one hard-to-prove handoff. We will map how HealthLink360 can connect the pathway without replacing the partners already doing the work.

How HealthLink360 supports your program.
Does HealthLink360 prepare or deliver every meal?
HealthLink360 coordinates intervention management with food providers and community partners. The delivery model and responsibilities are defined with each program.
Can we keep our existing food partners?
Yes. The approach connects existing partners, handoffs, and evidence rather than requiring a single food vendor.
What does the program measure?
Programs can track enrollment, receipt, use, barriers, patient experience, and agreed clinical or utilization outcomes. A referral alone is not evidence of improved health or savings.
How do we explore a pilot?
Start with a population, an intervention, and the handoffs you need to verify. Contact our partnership team to scope the workflow and measures.
