Cambridge Healthtech’s 7th Annual

Food as Medicine

Food as Medicine: From Promise to Implementation to Scalable Impact

May 3-4, 2027

Food as Medicine is entering its next phase. As the field continues to grow, the conversation is shifting from whether food can play a meaningful role in healthcare to how Food as Medicine approaches can be integrated, funded, and scaled to reach more people. The 7th Annual Food as Medicine Summit will bring together leaders from healthcare, health plans, government, community organizations, research, food and nutrition, retail and industry to tackle the questions that will define this next chapter. The program will examine how the evidence base is evolving, where sustainable business and reimbursement models are emerging, and what we are learning from programs being implemented at scale. It will also look at how Food as Medicine can become more deeply embedded across healthcare delivery, from prevention and chronic disease management to value-based care and population health. Through real world case studies, cross sector discussions and perspectives from across the field, attendees will hear what is working, where barriers remain, and what needs to happen next. The goal is to move the field forward with practical insights, stronger partnerships, and a clearer path toward making Food as Medicine a sustainable part of healthcare.

Coverage will include, but is not limited to:

Food as Medicine Integration and Scale
Funding, Reimbursement and Sustainable Business Models
Clinical Evidence, Outcomes and ROI
Health Plan and Health System Innovation
Food as Medicine in Value-Based Care
Patient Access, Engagement, and Adherence
Cross Sector Partnerships and Ecosystem Development
Policy, Regulation, and the Evolving Food as Medicine Landscape

The deadline for priority consideration is October 13, 2026.
