Health Policy

Advocating for policies, building coalitions, and creating access to medically tailored nutrition.

The Goal

The AMPL Institute advocates for state and federal policy changes that will make medically tailored nutrition available to any person living with a severe, complex, or chronic illness, regardless of their illness, geography, or ability to pay.  

The AMPL Institute has the central policy objective of securing medically tailored nutrition as an established benefit in Medicare and Medicaid.
