Summary
The bill directs Missouri’s Department of Social Services to seek a federal waiver so it can launch a “Food is Medicine” program for MO HealthNet members who have nutrition‑related chronic diseases. The program would offer case management, counseling, meals, nutrition prescriptions and grocery assistance, aiming to improve health and lower medical use. It also encourages using local growers and community groups for food supplies.
