Leading telenutrition provider Foodsmart recently appointed Dr. Toyin Ajayi to its Board of Directors. Dr. Ajayi currently leads Cityblock Health as its CEO. She possesses deep expertise in value-based care models. Consequently, her work improves outcomes for Medicaid populations. Furthermore, this telenutrition provider serves over three million members nationwide.
“Too many patients living with complex medical and social needs struggle to access the nutrition support that could fundamentally change their health trajectory,” said Dr. Ajayi. “Foodsmart is operationalizing foodcare at scale, connecting clinically grounded nutrition care to people’s real lives. That’s essential for advancing health equity and delivering meaningful outcomes in Medicaid and other high-need populations. I’m excited to join the Board and support this next phase of growth.”
This approach perfectly aligns with the company’s core mission. Specifically, Foodsmart views nutrition as a foundational population health driver.
“As Medicaid programs and health plans are increasingly accountable for total cost of care and health equity outcomes, nutrition can no longer sit outside the clinical model,” said Kurt Knight, CEO of Foodsmart. “Dr. Ajayi has built care systems that center patients, advance health equity, and perform in value-based contracts. Her perspective will strengthen our work with partners and accelerate our ability to deliver better health outcomes at lower cost.”
