Here's another reason to cheer on the St. Louis Cardinals this season! Every time they turn a double play, Bank of America and Cardinals Care make a donation to Operation Food Search! Thank you to these partners and to Chip Caray for nourishing children in our community and for letting us participate in the game.

Congratulations to Dan Ferris and the entire team for publishing this article on our Nourishing Healthy Starts program in the American Journal of Health Promotion. We're grateful for the continued partnership of Washington University in St. Louis' Social Policy Institute in this important work to improve birth outcomes by addressing food insecurity during pregnancy.
🌟 Exciting News in Food is Medicine & Maternal Health! 🌟 We're thrilled to share a new article detailing the impact food-is-medicine interventions can have during pregnancy. Published in the American Journal of Health Promotion, the brief highlights how the Nourishing Healthy Starts program at Operation Food Search supported maternal health and birth outcomes through a comprehensive, participant-centered approach. The article is publicly available with open access for more details around the program, findings, and implications! Immense thanks to Operation Food Search, program leaders and staff, study co-authors Stephen Roll Trina Ragain Katie Simpson, LCSW Katherine Mathews Tyler Frank Kourtney Gilbert Jason Jabbari, countless colleagues who supported the project partnership (Brittney Stone, Lyndsey Wilbers Cavender, Jennie Oberkrom, Sarah Ritter, Genevieve Davison Sam Hsu 許約亞 Adam Cisroe Pearson, OTD, OTRL Sydney Rothman Jennifer Potts, MSW, Olivia Borland, MSW, Pranav Nandan, MPH), and the incredible program participants who shared their time, perspectives, and experiences. We’re thrilled to move into the next phase of the project and continue to contribute to the movement for equitable access to food during pregnancy and beyond. https://lnkd.in/ei2MsMJ6 #FoodIsMedicine #MaternalHealth #HealthPolicy #ResearchPublication #HealthcareInnovation #Nutrition
