Cigna Healthcare launched a partnership with HelloFresh on Tuesday to expand access to healthy food for those covered by their employer.

信诺医疗于周二与HelloFresh建立了合作关系，以扩大雇主所覆盖人群获得健康食品的机会。

Bloomfield, Connecticut-based Cigna Healthcare is the health benefits division of The Cigna Group. The insurer has about 19.5 million members. HelloFresh, based in Berlin, Germany, is a healthy food company that delivers food and recipes to people’s homes.

总部位于康涅狄格州布卢姆菲尔德的信诺医疗保健公司是信诺集团的健康福利部门。该保险公司拥有约1950万会员。总部位于德国柏林的HelloFresh是一家健康食品公司，为人们提供食品和食谱。

Through the new partnership, up to 12 million members of Cigna’s employer customers will gain access to HelloFresh’s meals at a discounted rate. Employees can receive e-gift cards, discounted meal kit subscriptions or one-time food box deliveries. Each delivery includes pre-portioned ingredients and steps on how to make the meal.

通过新的合作关系，多达1200万信诺雇主客户将以折扣价获得HelloFresh的膳食。员工可以获得电子礼品卡、折扣套餐预订或一次性食品盒配送。每次交付都包括预先分配的配料和如何制作膳食的步骤。

The members can receive these offerings without a HelloFresh subscription..

会员无需HelloFresh订阅即可获得这些产品。。

“This partnership emphasizes the important role that home cooking plays in supporting consumers’ overall health and well-being,” said Adam Kalikow, senior vice president and managing director of meal kits at HelloFresh U.S., in a statement.

HelloFresh U.S.高级副总裁兼餐盒总经理亚当·卡利科（AdamKalikow）在一份声明中表示：“这种合作关系强调了家庭烹饪在支持消费者整体健康和福祉方面所起的重要作用。”。

In addition to supporting Cigna’s members, the insurer and HelloFresh are partnering through HelloFresh’s Meals with Meaning program. The program offers free meal kits to those battling food insecurity in local communities.

除了支持信诺的会员外，保险公司和HelloFresh正在通过HelloFresh的Meaning项目进行合作。该计划为那些在当地社区与粮食不安全作斗争的人提供免费的餐盒。

Cigna chose HelloFresh as a partner because it provides “access to fresh food through different food delivery plans and price points and also shares Cigna Healthcare’s commitment to making a difference in our communities,” said Heather Dlugolenski, U.S. commercial strategy officer for Cigna Healthcare, in an email.

Cigna选择HelloFresh作为合作伙伴，因为它“通过不同的食品交付计划和价格点提供新鲜食品，并且与Cigna Healthcare一样致力于在我们的社区中有所作为”，Cigna Healthcare的美国商业战略官Heather Dlugolenski在一封电子邮件中说。

“By partnering with HelloFresh, we can bring our clients discounted meal kit options to make wholesome eating easy, accessible, and affordable for their employees.”.

“通过与HelloFresh合作，我们可以为客户提供折扣套餐选项，使员工能够轻松、方便、负担得起健康饮食。”。

There’s a need for more affordable access to healthy food, research shows. According to Cigna’s 2023 Vitality in America study, about one in three U.S. workers reported facing food insecurity within the previous three months. In addition, about six in 10 Americans have at least one chronic disease, according to the CDC.

研究表明，需要更实惠的健康食品。根据信诺2023年美国活力研究，大约三分之一的美国工人报告称在过去三个月内面临粮食不安全问题。此外，根据疾病预防控制中心的数据，大约十分之六的美国人至少患有一种慢性病。

Diet-related chronic diseases represent about 20% of healthcare costs each year in the U.S..

在美国，与饮食有关的慢性病每年约占医疗保健费用的20%。。

“We’re seeing a greater push from organizations big and small towards health equity, taking social determinants of health into account, to help ensure all people have the opportunity to achieve optimal health and live with vitality,” Dlugolenski said. “This is playing out in a concerted effort between employers and payers to build equitable and inclusive benefits.”.

Dlugolenski说：“考虑到健康的社会决定因素，我们看到大小组织都在更大程度上推动健康公平，以帮助确保所有人都有机会获得最佳健康并充满活力地生活。”。“这是雇主和付款人共同努力的结果，以建立公平和包容的福利。”。

In partnering with HelloFresh, Dlugolenski added that Cigna’s goal is to “support the health and vitality of America’s workforce and to make a difference for communities in need.”

Dlugolenski在与HelloFresh的合作中补充说，信诺的目标是“支持美国劳动力的健康和活力，并为有需要的社区带来不同。”

Several other healthcare organizations are also making efforts to tackle food insecurity, though they have different strategies. Elevance Health recently hired a food as medicine director. Alignment Healthcare launched co-branded Medicare Advantage plans with Instacart. Highmark Health has a pilot in West Virginia that offers eligible residents debit cards to purchase healthy food at Dollar General stores.

其他几个医疗机构也在努力解决粮食不安全问题，尽管它们有不同的策略。Elevation Health最近聘请了一名食品公司担任药品总监。Alignment Healthcare与Instacart推出了联名医疗保险优势计划。Highmark Health在西弗吉尼亚州有一个试点，该试点为符合条件的居民提供借记卡，以便他们在Dollar General stores购买健康食品。

In addition, Kaiser Permanente made a $50 million commitment to food and nutrition security..

此外，Kaiser Permanente承诺为食品和营养安全提供5000万美元。。
