Improve hospital nutrition with our expert support.
We provide thorough guidance and hands-on assistance to help hospitals offer healthier meals, enhancing nutrition for both patients and medical staff.
Many Hospital Catering Services have the Opportunity to Better Align with Healthy Nutrition Guidelines
Our project addresses this issue by introducing whole food, plant-based meals for both patients and staff. This initiative not only improves health outcomes, but also boosts hospital profitability and enhances the institution’s public image as a leader in wellness and sustainability.
What is the Healthy Hospital Food Project?
Our pilot project “Healthy Hospital Food” aims to sustainably improve nutrition in hospitals in Germany and Switzerland. The focus is on the introduction of healthy, whole food plant-based meals. The benefits of a change relate not only to the health of patients and staff, but also to profitability and public image in the long term. Currently, catering in many hospitals does not yet meet the recommendations for healthy nutrition. We tackle this with the “Healthy Hospital Food” project together with you.
