Greening the Hospital Cafeteria Menu

Having spent a good bit of time in a hospital this week, I was drawn to this story in the Green Bay Gazette about the Aurora BayCare Medical Center’s effort to “ruin the image of hospital food.”

How are they going to do that?

They’re one of the latest of 125 health organizations to take the Healthy Food in Health Care Pledge, which commits the hospital food services to make healthier and greener decisions when providing food to patients, visitors and hospital staff.

The pledge is sponsored by Virginia-based Health Care Without Harm.

In addition to buying local meets and produce, BayCare has begun using rBGH-free milk.
