  • IU Nutrition Hub's success

    IU Nutrition Hub's success
    Jan 9 2025

    The Indiana University Health Nutrition Hub at IU Health Methodist Hospital is having a profound impact on addressing nutrition security.

    The Nutrition Hub has become a vital resource for families facing food insecurity. Among its patrons is Kellie Watson, who found support in April while managing health challenges like diabetes and high blood pressure.

    The Nutrition Hub entered Watson’s life at a crucial moment. Access to healthy food each week is vital for managing her medications and health, allowing her to focus on her well-being without the added stress of food scarcity. After winning her appeal for food stamps, she advocated for the Nutrition Hub, passionately sharing her new found resource at churches and City-County Council meetings.

    The Nutrition Hub uses an innovative Gleaners mobile app for participants to order a weekly supply of culturally relevant foods tailored to their needs. Community health workers provide ongoing nutritional support and education, ensuring participants make informed choices.

    With over 17% of Marion County residents in poverty and 128,000 facing food insecurity, the Nutrition Hub is committed to driving positive change for under served communities, one meal at a time.
