The Georgia Food Is Medicine Summit, presented by Open Hand and Emory Healthcare, will convene healthcare leaders, policymakers, corporate partners, and advocates from across the Southeast to explore the critical role of nutrition in healthcare.
As a charter member of the national Food Is Medicine Coalition and leader in medically tailored meal delivery and health equity, Open Hand is uniquely positioned as a thought leader in this movement.
This second annual event will spotlight best practices, groundbreaking research, and real-world case studies on integrating nutrition into healthcare systems. Attendees will have the opportunity to connect with leaders in healthcare and public policy, participate in thought-provoking panel discussions, and engage in interactive workshops designed to inspire collaboration and innovation. The one-day summit will feature dynamic expert-led panels, insightful keynote presentations, and strategic sessions designed to accelerate the scaling of Food Is Medicine programs and foster transformative partnerships in healthcare to support the Food Is Medicine movement.
