Client Story
Food is Medicine RoadmapMulti-year strategy for a medically tailored meals nonprofit
A nonprofit delivering medically tailored meals to people living with life-threatening illness competitively selected Third Horizon to lead a comprehensive strategic planning process. We worked with the executive team and Board of Directors to assess the organization’s position, clarify priorities, and define a multi-year roadmap responsive to shifts in health care financing, regulation, and community need — facilitating leadership and board retreats, gathering stakeholder input, and analyzing revenue diversification, partnerships, and long-term sustainability. The result: clear priorities, actionable goals, and a framework for decisions in a fast-changing environment.
