New Grant is Helping More Atlantans Stay Healthy

“I should eat WHAT?”

Patients suffering from heart disease, having to manage their diabetes, or recovering from a surgical procedure are often befuddled when their doctor recommends a new diet. For many, it means being introduced to new foods and healthier ways to prepare them.

Grady’s Food As Medicine program is there to help patients learn how to cook, shop, and eat differently. And, thanks to a grant from the Enterprise Mobility Foundation, this life-changing program will be able to serve even more patients.

From cooking classes to bins full of colorful vegetables, the Food As Medicine program is transforming lives one meal at a time. Launched in 2020 and housed in Grady's Jesse Hill Market, this innovative initiative tackles chronic disease through healthy eating.

Generous gifts from individuals and organizations like the Enterprise Mobility FoundationTM have allowed Grady to dramatically increase the program's reach. Today, Grady serves patients referred by more than 30 area clinics. Last year alone, the Food As Medicine program distributed more than 100,000 pounds of food and conducted nearly 200 cooking classes.

Together, with supporters like you, Grady will be able to continue helping Atlantans get healthy, stay healthy, and thrive.
