The briefing will focus on the drivers and health impacts of food insecurity, highlight best practices in connecting individuals with access to healthy food, and explore potential legislative approached to alleviate the impact of food insecurity.
Congressional SDOH Caucus Members Reps. Cheri Bustos (D-IL), Tom Cole (R-OK), Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), and G. K. Butterfield (D-NC) will provide opening remarks. Rep. Jim McGovern (D-MA) will also provide remarks on the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.
The Congressional SDOH Caucus was created to explore opportunities to improve the impact of services delivered to address social determinants with the support of federal funding. It brings together members of Congress from disparate jurisdictions to highlight the opportunities for coordination to improve health outcomes and maximize existing and future federal investments in health, food, housing, transportation, and other important drivers of health.
