Millions of Americans face food insecurity, which is a key driver of poor health outcomes and chronic disease. Federally qualified health centers are uniquely positioned to integrate food and nutrition services into clinical care. This bill establishes a grant program to support these centers in implementing food insecurity screening tools, operating on-site food pantries, and offering culturally tailored nutrition education. The program also encourages coordination with federal nutrition programs and explores funding food and nutrition interventions under value-based payment models.
