This would be a big step in improving the maternal mortality rate in the US.
Today, I announced that the Biden-Harris Administration is proposing the first-ever national health and safety standards for maternity care in hospitals.
This will help ensure that every mother in America receives quality care throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum.
ALT The Biden-Harris Administration Announces First-Ever National Health and Safety Standards for Maternity Care ☑️ Establish maternal safety standards for 6,000+ U.S. hospitals serving 98% of pregnant women ☑️ Collaborate across health care facilities to meet the level of care each patient needs ☑️ Supply life-saving resuscitation equipment in delivery rooms ☑️ Train hospital staff on best practices and cultural competency to ensure quality care

Quality is important. It is why we put forth the first-ever standard for the #MTM intervention. Ours is an evergreen standard we plan to evolve w/nutrition science & research to help scale equitable access to this life saving intervention. bit.ly/4cziH6V @statnews
This is an eye-opening story on some of the for-profit organizations that are now billing (dare I say ripping off?) Medicaid payors for "medically tailored" meals. This is why the nutrition standards that most nonprofit MTM providers follow are so critical.
I was intrigued when I learned there were private-equity-backed for-profit companies selling "medically tailored meals," what I found well...it surprised me...statnews.com/2024/07/11/medi…

Incredible news! Bipartisan and bicameral. #Foodismedicine.
A bipartisan bill establishing the FIRST national MTM demo program in Medicare was just introduced. It would give seniors w/ critical illness access to medically-tailored, home delivered-meals. Thank you: @RepMcGovern @RepMalliotakis @chelliepingree @repbrianfitz @RepDwightEvans!

It was wonderful to host @PADHSArkoosh and a host of Medicaid MCOs at @MANNANourishes last week for a robust conversation on #FoodasMedicine and the role it plays in improving health and reducing healthcare costs.

“The FIM movement is strongly backed by science and is an effective investment by health systems and health insurers.” This @JAMANetwork article outlines key actions inside & outside the government taking place around the #FoodisMedicine movement. bit.ly/3YBtKpO

We're thrilled to see this op-ed in today's @BostonGlobe by FIMC agency partner @communityserv CEO @DBW_FoodHeals, “Why Medicare should try medically tailored meals.” #MTMswork #foodismedicine bit.ly/3CcoEGd

Medically tailored meals improve the health outcomes in chronically ill patients.
A state rep has called for Pa. to allow hospitals to provide eligible medical assistance beneficiaries with prescribed meals.

A bill to establish a Medically Tailored Meals Pilot Program across PA has officially been introduced in the PA House of Reps! Thank you to Rep. @donnabullock195 for her leadership in this effort & those who co-sponsored this legislation! Read here: bit.ly/3Kege4W
Great to see @_SueDaugherty, CEO of @MANNANourishes quoted in this @axios article on the role of #nutrition in #healthcare. Medically tailored meals are a critical part of treatment and should be covered by insurance. #foodismedicine

Let's correct the record: the majority of people on SNAP who can work do work.
The rest are children, seniors & people with disabilities.
If Republicans really care about getting people off SNAP, they should support raising the minimum wage instead of beating up on poor people.

.@QuintonLucasKC, it’s a deal.
I’m proud to wager a couple of Philly favorites:
- A large pie from @DownNorthPizza.
- A six-pack from @PhillyBrewing.
And if our @eagles win (🤞) you can make a donation to @mannanourishes.

To my man, @PhillyMayor ,
We’re betting some of our very best barbecue from @GatesBarBQ, along with @Boulevard_Beer, @CharlieHustleCo shirts, and @TheRoasterie coffee that our @Chiefs bring the Lombardi trophy back to Kansas City.
What’s your bet?
Go Chiefs! See y’all Sunday

Never a bad day when you are helping those in need! That's exactly what we did helping to prepare healthy meals for those dealing with chronic health issues at @MANNAnourishes. We did much but more can always be done!

I had the privilege of learning about and touring @MANNANourishes and saw just how much of an impact they're making with the distribution of nutritious meals. Healthy food often leads to a healthy lifestyle, and MANNA's a resource for anyone in dire need within our community.

It's important to give back to our neighbors all year long - not just around the holidays. @MANNANourishes does so much good for so many people. I was honored to help out and learn more ways to get involved.
It's time to support MANNA by ordering your Thanksgiving pie from me today! mannapies.org/seller/ann-hos…
