💙 New Research Alert! 💙

Our team just presented our poster “Food Insecurity and Cardiovascular Disease Among U.S. Adults” and the findings are powerful.

🍎 Adults facing food insecurity had:
• 2.7x higher risk of cardiovascular disease
• Higher risk of CHD, CHF, and stroke
• Overall CVD rates of 12% vs. 6% compared to food-secure adults

This reinforces a major truth: food access is heart health.
Improving food security can save lives and reduce preventable cardiovascular complications.

Huge shoutout to the amazing team behind this work

Spring has sprung — and so has the produce!
Our THRIVE participants are diving into a vibrant box of seasonal goodness from Community FarmShare.

Think: crisp apples, rainbow carrots, juicy pears, and greens so fresh they still have their roots!
This is what Food is Medicine looks like—locally grown, nutrient-packed, and straight from Maryland’s soil.
