In their new Forefront article, Olivia Thomas, Jacob Mirsky, Norma Gonzalez, Benaye Wadkins, and Jaclyn Albin from Boston Medical Center (BMC), Massachusetts General Hospital, UT Southwestern Medical Center, and Crossroads Community Services argue that, by advancing the integration of Food Is Medicine in health care through community collaboration, we can significantly enhance patient outcomes, improve health care delivery, and proactively address future health challenges. "We work as direct-service providers in hospital systems and community-based organizations (CBOs) and have experience implementing FIM interventions in health care settings. And we believe that it is possible to elevate the current FIM movement, help tackle food insecurity at its roots, support health equity, and ensure sustainable care models that mitigate strain on health care organizations and providers. To that end, we offer three guiding principles, developed through our own experience, trial and tribulation to ensure the success of Food Is Medicine."

I am enjoying the habit of boosting examples of leadership in action. Perhaps I should use it as a feature in the upcoming newsletter- Words can influence minds but actions build the future. Cheers to a brighter future in cancer care. Breaking News! Great news for Irvine & Santa Ana CA residents and oncology professionals. A new facility is coming to the southern CA region, bringing care options closer to home. Residents, healthcare leaders, and market stats all suggest that this is exactly what the area needs. For those living in the area, this means better options for care nearer to you, without having to drive over an hour for the type of doctor you need. Bringing top-notch care options closer to residents is critical to access and changes how many will experience treatment in the area. It means less cost to patients who travel out of town and pay for overnight stays. It means actually getting the care you deserve for those who are not able to overcome geographical and financial barriers to care in their region. For those working in rad-onc or planning to, and are from the area, you are getting a brand new facility as an option for your career. You can reconsider having to move away from your relatives to get the best job in your field. A trusted name and the best minds in the field are now in your backyard. This will drive oncology professionals to the region for better cost of living, housing, and research opportunities. Thank you to everyone involved in bringing care options closer to the southern CA region in Irvine. Let's celebrate better options for care and career opportunities for oncology workers. #Irvine #SantaAna #healthcare #oncology #careeropportunities #newfacility #healthcaretechnicalstaffing
