Establishes the "Food is Medicine NJ Pilot Program" in DHS; appropriates $5,000,000.

This bill establishes the "Food is Medicine NJ Pilot Program" within New Jersey's Department of Human Services (DHS) for three years, appropriating $5 million. It directly serves Medicaid recipients with qualifying diet-related chronic conditions (like diabetes, heart failure, or obesity-related illnesses) who are referred by healthcare providers. The program provides medically tailored meals to up to 3,000 participants and produce prescriptions with nutrition education to an additional 7,000 at-risk individuals. DHS must contract an evaluator to measure outcomes like reduced hospitalizations, improved health metrics (e.g., blood sugar levels), and cost savings to Medicaid, reporting findings at 18 months and upon program completion.
