I’m so proud to see this program get the recognition it deserves, and especially grateful to our Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Food & Nutrition Services staff who play an enormous role in making sure our communities have access to fresh healthy food. In the first 6 months of this program at St. Joseph Medical Center in Tacoma, we provided 895 meals and diverted more than 1000 pounds of waste from landfills. We just launched our program at St. Michael Medical Center in Silverdale, and I can’t wait to see this spread to our other VMFH hospitals over time!  #humankindness #foodsecurity #healthcare #SDoH https://lnkd.in/gnuD62by
