Dear John,

Join Penn LDI and Health Affairs on July 22 for a half-day in-person conference to highlight and deepen our understanding of how policy makers are working toward fully integrated care for dually eligible beneficiaries of Medicaid and Medicare.

The United States is facing a national epidemic of diet-related chronic disease—including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and obesity.

While a range of diet and lifestyle interventions have been implemented to address these issues, there is widespread recognition that much more work remains to be done at the federal, state, and local levels to improve access to healthy, safe, and affordable foods; eradicate hunger; and reduce health disparities.

Health Affairs is planning a theme issue on food, nutrition, and health to be published in April of 2025. In this issue, we aim to provide evidence from research on policy interventions to show what works and what holds promise.

The submissions portal is open now and the deadline to submit an abstract is July 29.
