2023 was the year all of the 11 NYC Health + Hospitals transformed their inpatient menus to plant-based and started offering tasty, healthy meals to promote positive health outcomes. A culinary menu that not only delivers essential nutrition but is also inspired by the cultural diversity of the health systems patient population and even saves on average 55 cents per dish!<\/p>\n
NYC Health + Hospitals expects to serve over 850,000 plant-based meals this year alone and is already seeing the patient satisfaction rate improve to 95%. We\u2019re expecting this talk will make some waves as a role model case study for many more hospitals, government-backed institutions, chefs and caterers to be inspired by and learn from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
