Food As Medicine

The Food as Medicine partnership at Grady Health provides members of the Grady community (patients, families, employees, visitors, and neighbors) access to healthy affordable food through the Jesse Hill Market and other collaborations throughout the Atlanta area. Located just outside Grady’s main entrance, the Jesse Hill Market features a food prescription program that offers eligible patients fresh food, nutrition education, and cooking classes. The Market also offers healthy grab-and-go meals and fresh produce for purchase through its public café. 

The Food as Medicine program is a multipronged intervention to address both chronic disease and food insecurity among Grady patients. Grady Health partners with the Atlanta Community Food Bank and Open Hand Atlanta to deliver the Food As Medicine program. The Food as Medicine Partnership aims to fuel patients with healthy foods while bringing the community together.
