Exciting News! Unity Health Care has been awarded a $5 million, 5-year grant from The J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Foundation! This incredible funding will launch a groundbreaking food pharmacy program in partnership with the Capital Area Food Bank at our East of the River and Anacostia locations. Our food pharmacy will provide nutritious, medically tailored groceries to older adults with hypertension or diabetes, addressing critical health disparities and improving their overall health outcomes. "This grant will enable us to launch a transformative program that directly addresses the social determinants of health that disproportionately affect many of our patients," said Dr. Jessica Boyd President and CEO of Unity Health Care. We are grateful for this partnership and look forward to creating healthier, more equitable communities together.

Great! Since you’re also providing medical care inside the DC Jail, does this apply there too? 👀
This is such an important initiative. After spending time with lifestyle medicine physicians last week, the importance of accessible healthy food has never been more obvious to me. Hats off to Dr. Boyd and the team.
Congratulations. Looking forward to seeing the impact Unity Health Care and Capital Area Food Bank create together!
