The American Hospital Association’s Health Research & Educational Trust explores the challenges of ensuring a population has access to healthy food in a new guide, according to an article on the Hospitals & Health Systems website.
Food insecurity is one determinant of population health. The AHA guide offers some recommendations for how hospitals can help in this area.
One way a healthcare facility can help is by screening patients for food insecurity and hunger and partnering with community organizations to offer programs and resources.
