Medically Tailored Meals

The Power of Food as Medicine

What is a medically tailored meal?

Medically tailored meals are delivered to individuals - typically through a referral from a medical professional or health plan - living with or at risk for chronic disease, such as diabetes, heart failure, cancer, HIV/AIDS, etc. Meals are specifically designed for their diagnosis, as well as the additional complications that come with that illness.

At Open Hand, our medically tailored meals are so high-quality and delicious, we knew the impact on the community would be greatest if we opened up access across the socioeconomic spectrum: thus, Good Measure Meals^TM was born. Our medically tailored meals are prepared, cooked, and delivered in an effort to improve health outcomes for all, because we believe food is medicine.

How Can Medically Tailored Meals Help You?

Every meal from Good Measure is medically tailored, which means that every meal offers consistent carbohydrates from meal-to-meal with controlled fat and sodium for the management and prevention of diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. We seek to promote overall wellness and address multiple conditions of chronic disease.
Our meals are science-based following nutrition recommendations from the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, the American Diabetes Association, the Institute of Medicine, the American Heart Association, USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and the National Kidney Foundation. You can always schedule a free 10-minute introductory consult with one of our RDNs if you have questions!
We comply with Georgia Department of Agriculture regulations to ensure our food is produced safely, meets high quality standards, and is labeled accurately. That's because every meal is made with the same care and compassion that sparked Open Hand's beginnings in 1988.
A medically tailored diet can help you both manage your health if you're dealing with a specific issue and prevent future issues from developing. That means everyone can benefit from a medically tailored diet. Aside from our meals being delicious and convenient, they take care of your future self!
