Diet-related diseases are rising. How #healthcare spends, sources, & serves #food matters. More delicious, nutritious, sustainable, and culturally relevant food leads to better 🏆 patient outcomes, ⬇️ hospital stay days, ⬆️ preventive health, and ⬇️ wasted resources.

A group of people - members of Nourish's session on 100 Million Better Bites - stand in a classroom setting in front of a green chalkboard and projector screen. On a table in front of them is a plate of food (salmon, seafood, and berries laid over cedar), offered in ceremony.
This week @victoriaforum.bsky.social our sessions explored what a #regenerative food culture could look like for #healthcare & for Canada. We are on the road to #100MillionBetterBites 🍏 Gratitude to our hosts and guests 💜

We often hear it's too expensive to serve healthier & more sustainable foods - but is it really? By changing menus, ingredients, and sourcing - 🇨🇦 #healthcare can ADD value without breaking the bank: with decreased waste & improved patient outcomes.
