Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill establishes a new federal grant program to help federally qualified health centers integrate food and nutrition services into their medical care. The grants would support activities like screening patients for food insecurity, operating on-site food pantries, hiring registered dietitians, offering nutrition education, and partnering with food banks and other nutrition programs. The legislation is aimed at addressing food insecurity as a health issue, particularly for low-income populations who rely on these health centers and face higher rates of chronic disease. The bill authorizes $100 million annually from 2027 through 2031 for the program and requires grant recipients to report annually on how many patients they serve, how many they refer to federal nutrition assistance programs like SNAP and WIC, and what community partnerships they develop.
