Healing Roots: Mindfully Tailored Meals (MTM)
We’re Taking a Break to Come Back Better!
We have temporarily paused our MTM Program. We've recently connected with other partners and organizations to learn from and potentially think through ways to collaborate on our Mindfully Tailored Meals. We are excited for the future of this program but have paused the program in an effort to streamline some of our processes. Once we are ready to move forward, we will be posting on our social media accounts, sending out emails and posting on our website.
What is an MTM?
MTMs are fresh, pre-prepared meals designed by a dietitian to meet the medical needs of people suffering from one or more diet-related illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease or obesity. Our program is one of only thirty medically tailored meal programs in the country that follow The Food is Medicine Coalition guidelines, which is considered the gold standard for medical nutrition therapy!
Pre-prepared meals are coupled with a Cooking Matters course, led in partnership with MercyMed of Columbus. The cooking course teaches how to read labels, cost compare, cook healthy meals at home and stresses the importance of fruit and vegetables in everyday cooking.
Studies show that MTM programs improve health outcomes and drastically reduce cost of healthcare and hospitalizations. They have also shown to improve food security and healthy eating habits.
