Who We Are - Overview

---

Food is Medicine Coalition Arizona (FIMC-AZ) is working to advance the role of nutrition in healthcare. We are a coalition of healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, nutrition professionals, and advocates committed to providing medically tailored meals, nutrition education, and supportive services to people living with chronic and severe illnesses. Serving communities across Arizona and beyond, we focus on improving health outcomes, reducing healthcare costs, and promoting equitable access to nutritious food. Our mission is to ensure that food is recognized and used as a core component of healthcare for everyone who needs it.

At FIMC‑AZ, our team is driving change where healthcare and nutrition meet.
Our members are dedicated professionals, advocates, and community leaders working to ensure that nutrition is recognized and integrated as a vital part of healthcare. With a shared belief in the power of food as medicine, we collaborate across sectors—healthcare providers, policymakers, researchers, and community-based organizations—to advance access to medically tailored nutrition services for those living with chronic illness and food insecurity.

We understand that meaningful change requires empathy, innovation, and persistence. That’s why our work centers on building strong partnerships, influencing policy, and supporting systems that treat food not as an afterthought, but as an essential element of care.
