Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies
GA Foods offers complete nutritional solutions to support pregnant women and new moms who face challenges related to social determinants of health. Adequate nutrition can be difficult when compounded by financial uncertainty, the anxiety of food insecurity, and mental health issues. By partnering with GA Foods, mothers and their families can receive nutritious meals delivered right to their homes. Our KickStart meal program helps remove barriers to achieve optimal health.
Nutrition Matters
Nutrition is vital for expectant mothers, especially for those who are at a high risk. GA Foods offers SunMeadow® meals designed by Registered Dietitians to support healthy development and avoid complications, such as low birth weight and premature delivery.
Proper maternal health is essential for:
- Healthy blood pressure, weight, and wellness
- Reduced total cost of care per member
- Member satisfaction
- Reduced LOS (length of stay)
- Full-term pregnancy
- Avoiding NICU admissions
Medically-Tailored Meals
Our variety of frozen or shelf-stable meals provides flexibility in your meal program. Medically-Tailored Meals are available to manage existing conditions or treat those that occur during pregnancy.
Pregnant women are most vulnerable when facing:
- High-risk medical and social needs, such as food insecurity
- Gestational diabetes
- Pre-eclampsia
- Obesity
- Bed rest
- Multiple births
Our Solution
Our personalized KickStart program offers telehealth counseling sessions that partner members with a Registered Dietitian (RD) during pregnancy and after discharge from the hospital. Our member-centric approach combines valuable health education with a medically-tailored meal plan to fit the unique prenatal and postpartum needs.
