Food as Medicine' pilot program legislation signed into law

Rhode Island General Assembly·October 9, 2026
Food as Medicine' pilot program legislation signed into law

Rhode Island has officially enacted legislation establishing a state-level 'Food as Medicine' pilot program and task force. The initiative, administered by the executive office of health and human services, aims to integrate nutritional interventions into the state's healthcare framework.

HNH Insight

While the federal 'National Food as Medicine Program Act' remains in the legislative pipeline, states like Rhode Island are moving forward with localized pilot programs to test the efficacy of nutrition-based interventions within their Medicaid and public health systems.
