The Problem:
Low Adherence to Nutrition Programs
Roots Community Health, a trusted provider of culturally responsive care for Black and underserved mothers in the Bay Area, piloted a 12-week “Food is Medicine” program to support maternal health through nutrition. They tested delivering fresh groceries and recipe cards—hoping this approach would support nutritional knowledge and behavior change.
However, despite positive sentiment, adherence to this model was low. Pregnant women, many managing additional children or complex life circumstances, found it difficult to follow through on shopping, prepping, and cooking—even when the food was provided. The logistical and emotional demands proved too great, especially during pregnancy and postpartum.
Roots needed a low-lift, high-impact solution—one that honored their mission and made healthy meals truly accessible to new and expecting mothers.

The Solution:
Chef-Made, Clinically Designed Meals
When Roots reached out to CookUnity, they were looking for more than just meal delivery—they wanted a partner who could deliver chef-crafted, clinically supportive meals that aligned with nutrition guidelines. The meals had to be ready-to-eat, support dietary diversity, and remove the daily stress of meal planning.
Through our partnership, Roots Community Health now offers members access to fully prepared, nutritionist-approved meals—without requiring them to cook or manage grocery drop-offs. Each mealis crafted by independent chefs and tailored to the specific needs of maternal care: nutrient density, food safety, and cultural relevance.
The result: Roots' mothers feel cared for, nourished, and empowered—with more time for rest, bonding, and recovery. And the Roots care team gains a scalable, evidence-based tool that supports health equity and food as medicine.
