June 2026. Washington, DC. The movement unites.

The nation’s leading organizations advancing Food is Medicine are joining forces to launch FIMCON—the first national summit uniting an entire ecosystem that’s transforming how America thinks about health, nutrition, and care.

Over three days at the Grand Hyatt Washington, 750+ healthcare professionals, FIM practitioners and program recipients, researchers, policymakers, community leaders, and funders will gather in the nation’s capital to do what’s never been done before: a unified convening of the entire Food is Medicine field.

This is where policy meets practice. Where evidence meets action. Where a movement becomes unstoppable.

Powered by the collective reach and expertise of:

• Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation of Harvard Law School (CHLPI) – driving policy transformation
• Food is Medicine Coalition (FIMC) – advancing clinical integration nationwide
• Food is Medicine Institute at Tufts University – building the evidence base
• National Produce Prescription Collaborative (NPPC) – scaling community impact

Why this moment matters:

Food is Medicine has reached a critical juncture. Policy opportunities are expanding. Federal and state investments are growing. Scientific validation is strengthening. Public awareness is rising. Yet the field has lacked a central convening with the scale, strategic location, and cross-sector reach needed to channel this momentum into lasting change.

FIMCON changes that.

This isn’t just another conference. It’s the launchpad for the next era of Food is Medicine—where fragmented efforts become a coordinated force, where emerging practitioners find mentorship and community, where policymakers hear directly from those doing the work, and where funders see the full scope of what’s possible.
