Tech-enabled food delivery company FarmboxRx is launching a Maternal Health Program to provide access to food and nutrition education for at-risk pregnant women. The program will focus on promoting health literacy, newborn and child immunizations, mental healthcare, prenatal and postpartum care, vision compliance, and nutrition. Founder and CEO Ashley Tyrner emphasizes the importance of culturally competent and language-appropriate education materials to address health disparities. FarmboxRx has previously partnered with insurance companies to provide preventative care measures to elderly patients and offer farm boxes to Medicare members. Other food delivery companies, like Instacart, are also entering the healthcare space with initiatives focused on providing nutritious foods and digital tools for healthcare providers.
