Health Supportive Menu Ideation and Marketing for Healthcare Settings

Can we create a seamless nourishment conversation in the clinic that translates in the hospital cafeteria? Can we talk with one nutrition voice so that cafeteria and hospital menus reflect healthful offerings that don't end up in the trash? This was the question asked by 4 chefs who were frustrated at the waste of their beautiful food in a hospital cafeteria. In this workshop, we'll answer the question. Learn how to translate evidence-based science into a visual education tool that can serve as a foundation for both nutrition education and menu ideation. Examine a simple nutrition education framework that serves as a meal and menu planning tool for culinary staff in hospitals, institutions or community organizations. Learn how you can talk with one nutritional voice that enables staff, patients, clients and visitors to make an informed health-supportive food choice that translates from your space to their home place.
