Bento Health was purpose-built for one group: high-risk patients.
At Bento Health, we believe that healthy food is medicine and can be so much more. It’s a powerful catalyst for building trust, inspiring lasting behavior change, and connecting people to the care they need to live healthier lives.
When you start by fulfilling people’s basic needs in a convenient and stigma-free way, the results speak for themselves.
What does Bento Health do?
1
We meet basic needs
Each Bento Health member receives regular deliveries of healthy groceries. It’s convenient, reliable, and builds consistency. This is how we earn trust.
2
We close care gaps
Once we build trust, our Care Navigators work with members to take their Next Best Step, whether that’s improving adherence with clinician prescribed care plans, lab work, scheduling a PCP visit, and more. This is where the real change happens.
Food is more than nutrition
Traditional Food as Medicine programs focus on what gets delivered. Bento Health focuses on what happens next.
By combining medically-tailored groceries with sustained member engagement, personalized coaching, and care navigation, Bento Health helps health plans turn nutrition benefits into measurable improvements in clinical outcomes, healthcare utilization, and cost.

Know who, and know what works.
We pinpoint the members who'll benefit most and design the most cost effective mix of food and care navigation to create meaningful outcomes.
Turn food into follow-through.
When we meet members’ basic needs, it builds trust. We then nudge members to the visit, the lab, the filled prescription—so engagement becomes closed care gaps.
