Open Hand's CEO, Matt Pieper, recently returned from FIMCON where he was a panelist in the opening plenary session. This extraordinary two-day conference brought together nutrition/food providers, funders, policy leaders and advocates to discuss and strategize advancing the national Food Is Medicine movement.
