Season food health

The $7 million investment comes from Inception Health — the innovation arm of the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) health network — and Ziegler Link-age Fund, along with some other investors. In total Season Health has raised $45 million.

Season Health plans to use these funds to “develop and scale our food-as-medicine programs,” said Josh Hix, co-founder and CEO of Season Health, in an email. This includes programs for diabetes and high-risk pregnancy. In addition, the company will be expanding its partnerships with providers and payers.

Froedtert and MCW is a health system in eastern Wisconsin that consists of 10 hospitals, more than 45 health centers and more than 2,300 physicians. Froedtert and MCW and Inception Health chose to invest in Season Health because it believes the company “has built a comprehensive Food-as-Medicine Platform that will support patients’ journeys to healthier eating habits and ultimately improved health outcomes,” said Mike Maschek, director at Inception Health, in a statement.

In early 2024, Season Health will also be launching two programs with the Froedtert and MCW health system. These programs will give members of Froedtert’s employee population in-network access to Season’s registered dietitian practice, and those with diabetes will receive a value-based care program focused on improving clinical outcomes and reducing the cost of care, Hix said.
