Michael Anderson is CEO of Iowa-based PurFoods, also known as Mom’s Meals. PurFoods delivers refrigerated, ready-to-eat, medically-tailored meals to any U.S. address. Partnering with over 500 health plans, Medicare and Medicaid plans, and others, PurFoods has advanced health by making nutritious meals available to those in need.

Mike has been an integral part of the company since its inception in 1999. You’ll hear the story of this family grown business – where the “mom” in Mom’s Meals is Mike’s own mother. And we explore why food increasingly needs to be viewed as medicine for our aging and chronic disease diagnosed populations. It can mean the difference between a healthy recovery or a hospital readmission.
