WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThe bill would make food and nutrition services part of a grant-supported effort at federally qualified health centers, including through screenings, pantry services, nutrition professionals, and partnerships with food and nutrition organizations. It would also direct federal agencies to coordinate referrals and consider ways nutrition services could be supported through Medicaid-related projects or payment models.
The bill authorizes funding for five fiscal years, but does not itself appropriate that money. It also requires grant recipients to report annually on patients served, referrals and enrollments, and community partnerships and resource use.
