The COVID-19 pandemic exposed and exacerbated an existing problem: too many Americans deal with insufficient access to quality food. Whether preparing for upcoming bids/RFPs or trying to help your members today, food insecurity and chronic conditions have become some of the most critical issues plans face as a result of COVID. The recent record increase in SNAP has created a big opportunity for plans, but many are unsure what to do.

Dr. Jason Langheier, CEO and Founder of Foodsmart, and Katie McCormick Lelyveld, former press secretary for Michelle Obama and key player in the White House's Move campaign, will discuss why community health plans need to care about food insecurity now more than ever and how Foodsmart is making access to affordable healthy food sustainable with telenutrition, price comparison, online SNAP enrollment, healthy food directed spend, medically tailored & food insecurity prepared meals.
