Community Health Network and Nourish recently announced a strategic partnership to expand metabolic care access across Indiana. This partnership brings virtual, in-network nutrition services right into the clinical workflows that are already in place. Because of this, patients can now use their health insurance benefits to see registered dietitians.
Giving more people access to nutrition experts
Many common diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, are caused by metabolic dysfunction. But less than 1% of Americans have ever worked with a dietitian. This partnership’s goal is to close that gap with easy, digital-first referrals.
“Metabolic health sits at the foundation of so many conditions we treat every day. We are excited to partner with Nourish to deliver consumer-focused metabolic care to our patients across Indiana,” said Patrick McGill, MD, President and CEO of Community Health Network. “Together, we are excited to bring an evidence-based, convenient, and personalized approach to care to the communities we serve.”
Patients can now talk to nutritionists every day of the week. The Nourish platform also has a personalized, AI-powered app that helps people change their preferences between sessions. This model brings nutrition care into the lives of patients every day, not just in hospitals.
“We built Nourish to make metabolic health care accessible at scale with differentiated clinical outcomes and a consumer-centric patient experience,” said Aidan Dewar, CEO of Nourish. “Community exemplifies what’s possible when a health system pairs strong clinical leadership with a consumer-forward mindset. Together, we’re demonstrating how metabolic care is foundational to modern healthcare delivery.”
In the end, this program saves money and improves the long-term health of thousands of patients. Both organizations are modernizing how healthcare is delivered for the chronic disease crisis by putting metabolic care first.
