Overview
Health care facilities across New England are serving local and regionally grown food, hosting farmers markets, prescribing their patients farm-fresh food, growing on-site gardens and promoting healthy eating. Thousands of meals are served each day in New England's 270 hospitals, as well as numerous nursing homes, retirement communities, and other health care facilities.
Healthy Food in Health Care
The New England Healthy Food in Health Care Program works to improve the food served in health care facilities, support our region’s farmers, and protect our environment. To learn more about how hospitals are supporting the farm to institution movement, visit Health Care Without Harm, who is leading the global movement for sustainable health care.
