Cocina Rx | Partners
Built with partners. Designed for real-world results.
Cocina Rx builds clinic-ready Food is Medicine programs with partners across healthcare, research, and community. Our 2023 and 2024 pilots were co-developed to prove feasibility, strengthen data practices, and demonstrate measurable value for participants and care teams.
Pilot-Backed Collaboration (2023 and 2024)
- Tested end-to-end delivery: intake, nutrition planning, medically tailored meals, and engagement supports.
- Built practical outcomes tracking and reporting for partners, funders, and future payer integration.
