Research: Why Medically Tailored Meals Work

God’s Love was founded on the simple realization that people who are very sick don’t just need food, but individually tailored meals that consider the many challenges facing someone with a serious illness. Research from across the country has proven that this act of tailoring each meal to meet a client’s specific medical diagnosis works. In fact, it not only improves a client’s health outcomes, but also improves medication adherence, and keeps clients out of the hospital and in their homes.

The research we describe below has been completed by God’s Love and peer medically tailored meal agencies across the country.
