Bill overview
The DINE Act modifies the Older Americans Act to expand the role of food in addressing health issues among older adults. Specifically, it requires programs to screen for eligibility in ‘food is medicine’ programs and to consider referrals to these programs. The bill also encourages the use of innovative approaches like ‘produce prescriptions’ and expands nutrition education to include food-based interventions. This aims to improve the health and well-being of seniors through a more comprehensive approach to care.
