Dr. Amy Headings is the Director of Research and Nutrition at Mid-Ohio Food Collective, a role she has held since 2011. She collaborates with local and state health care partners to address food insecurity and healthy food access for the treatment and prevention of chronic disease. Amy has worked with Feeding America, The Ohio State University, and others on initiatives to understand the impact of emergency feeding on dietary intake and health outcomes in food-insecure populations. As the leader of Mid-Ohio Farmacy, nearly 30,000 patients have been screened and provided the opportunity to connect to the fresh food they need every week. The program has resulted in lower primary care costs and improvements in health outcomes. Amy sits on several local, state, and national advisory committees including the State Nutrition Action Committee and the Helene Fuld Health Trust National Institute for Evidence-based Practice in Nursing and Healthcare Community Core, and has been an expert panel member for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Healthy Eating Research program. She also worked with OSU Extension to write Pantry Panic, an Ohio 4-H project book that helps students gain a clearer picture of hunger in their communities. Amy is a registered and licensed dietitian and holds a doctorate in human nutrition from The Ohio State University.
