Update - Hospital Food Will Put You There

 

    As a follow up to my disappointment with the unhealthy food options at the hospital quarterly breakfast meeting, I just got off the phone with the Administrator's office.  I voiced my complaints about having the choices of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns, bagels with cream cheese and butter and yogurt with no simple fresh fruit or fruit salad as an alternative.  We talked about the radio ads they broadcast about the hospital being the center of community wellness. My question was simply why wasn't their a fruit option? If the hospital is concerned with the wellness of the community, why aren't we looking out for the wellness of our own staff as members of the community?  Shouldn't we be setting an example and at least offering fresh fruit as a healthy option?

     The response was understanding and apologetic with a promise to look into who did the catering. I was promised that the option for fruit would be available at the next meeting in 3 months. Stay tuned.
