How Targeted Nutrition Programs Can Help Establish the Foundation for a Healthier, Less Costly Future

The health of America’s children is in crisis. Today, over 20% of U.S. youth are classified as obese and the early signs of chronic disease are showing up younger and more frequently. These alarming patterns are closely linked to food insecurity, limited access to nutritious options, and the growing prevalence of ultra-processed diets—especially in communities living in food deserts. The consequences aren’t just individual—they’re generational.

At NourishedRx, we’re advancing family-centered nutrition programs that empower households to build healthier habits together. Food-focused care—centered around families—can drive lasting change for this generation and the next.
