Food is Medicine: Healing Through Medically Tailored Meals

Nearly one in five Medicare patients discharged from a hospital is readmitted within 30 days, at a cost of over $26 billion a year. Proper nourishment is critical to prevent hospital readmissions. Traditions’ Care Transition Meals provide patients with the crucial nourishment they need after discharge.​

​At Traditions, we believe that food is medicine. Our medically tailored meals ensure that patients transitioning from hospital to home, as well as those living with chronic medical conditions, receive the proper nourishment essential for their recovery and ongoing health.​

Our Care Transition Meals are designed to provide the vital nutrition needed to prevent hospital readmissions while being easy to prepare and delicious. Please note that these meals are tray-only, without additional components.
