Brief Summary
Medically tailored groceries (MTG), involving grocery items to be prepared at home, selected by a nutritional professional based on a treatment plan, is a growing approach adopted by healthcare systems to address food insecurity in their patient populations, a leading contribution to health disparities such as poor birth outcomes within pregnant populations.
