Meals MATTER: A Trial of Medically Tailored Meals 2 Weeks vs. 4 Weeks Post Hospital Discharge

The purpose of this study is to determine if medically tailored meals provided for either 2 weeks or 4 weeks (1 meal per day) to a Kaiser Permanente Colorado (KPCO) member after hospital discharge will improve their health. Medically tailored meals (MTM) are meals that are approved by a dietitian and shown to help people with certain health conditions.
