Feeding Hearts and Minds: Food as Medicine, Divided Media, and Implications for Public Policy
Wednesday, November 1 – Friday, November 3
The 2023 Grantmakers In Health (GIH) Fall Forum will provide policy-engaged funders with information on current issues, access to leading thinkers, and connections with grantmaking peers. This year’s theme is Feeding Hearts and Minds: Food as Medicine, Divided Media, and Implications for Public Policy.
Drawing on GIH’s new policy agenda and recognizing that policy not only occurs in Congress but in federal agencies and at state and local levels, we will address timely policy topics, including: the Medicaid unwinding, Medicare Advantage, the Farm Bill reauthorization, and Food as Medicine. We will also discuss how our current information ecosystem—which is characterized by the simultaneous rise of social media and the decline of local media—is eroding trust in health institutions and public health officials and inhibiting our nation’s ability to address critical health needs and eliminate disparities.
Throughout the conference, we will highlight opportunities for philanthropic action, public-private partnerships, and policy change to promote better health for all through more equitable health systems and a healthier information ecosystem. Please join us for the chance to discuss these important topics, network with policy makers and other funders, and identify opportunities for collaboration.

Lauren LeRoy Lecture
The Fall Forum features the Lauren LeRoy lecture, a lecture series established in honor of former GIH President and CEO Lauren LeRoy and her commitment to increasing communication between the worlds of philanthropy and policy. Particpants return home with a deeper understanding of important topics, an introduction to key players, and ideas about how to apply what they have learned to their work.
