Good nutrition is a key factor in managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. A well-balanced diet helps control blood sugar, maintain healthy blood pressure, and support effective weight management, all of which are essential for improving overall health and preventing complications.

The Food as Medicine program works with Open Door Health Services to provide patients with healthy food options and practical guidance during a monthly class. Patients not only learn about nutrition but are also equipped to prepare nutritious meals at home, empowering them to apply these principles in their daily lives. This hands-on approach fosters sustainable changes that can improve the management of these conditions and enhance long-term health outcomes. If you are an Open Door patient and think Food as Medicine is right for you, talk to your provider who will help you with next steps.
