EatWell Meal Kits
EatWell is a Boston-based social-impact startup that turns meal kits into a healthcare intervention. Founded by Harvard School of Public Health students, it produces prescription meal kits - fresh ingredients plus fast, culturally relevant recipes designed by a Michelin-trained chef - that healthcare providers and insurers prescribe to patients facing food insecurity and chronic disease. Kits are made in Dorchester at CommonWealth Kitchen by production staff hired from the communities EatWell serves, and are reimbursed through MassHealth ACO Flexible Services and health-system partnerships under the growing 'Food is Medicine' model.
Daniel Wexler
Daniel Wexler is the co-founder and CEO of EatWell, a Boston public-benefit startup that turns dinner into a doctor's prescription. He maps food deserts the way logistics planners map warehouses, then ships affordable one-pot meal kits into the neighborhoods that grocery chains forgot. Trained in public health and behavioral economics at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Wexler reframed groceries as a 'Food is Medicine' tool that health insurers can prescribe to fight food insecurity and prevent diet-related disease while lowering healthcare spend.
