Who We Are - Overview

Food is Medicine Arizona  

is leading the movement to integrate nutrition into healthcare. We are a coalition of healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, nutrition professionals, and community advocates dedicated to delivering medically tailored meals, nutrition education, and supportive services to individuals living with chronic and severe illnesses.

Serving communities across Arizona and beyond, we work to improve health outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and expand equitable access to nutritious food. Our mission is to ensure that food is recognized, valued, and used as a core component of healthcare for everyone who needs it.

At FIM‑AZ, our members are driving change at the intersection of healthcare and nutrition. They are dedicated professionals, advocates, and community leaders committed to ensuring that nutrition is recognized and integrated as a vital part of healthcare.

With a shared belief in the power of food as medicine, our members collaborate across sectors—healthcare providers, policymakers, researchers, and community-based organizations—to increase access to medically tailored nutrition services for people living with chronic illness and food insecurity.

We know meaningful change requires empathy, innovation, and persistence. That is why our work prioritizes building strong partnerships, shaping policy, and strengthening systems that treat food not as an afterthought, but as an essential element of care.
