Join the Physicians Committee’s campaign to Make Hospitals Healthy!
- If you are a hospital administrator or employee, visit our resource portal to get started with the Healthy Food in Health Care Toolkit.
-
Check the list below and see if your local hospital hosts a fast-food restaurant. If so, urge it to only host restaurants that offer healthful, cholesterol-free plant-based meals. Hospitals should go #FastFoodFree! Tampa General Hospital in Florida hosts a McDonald’s restaurant. Please send a Tweet urging @TGHCares in Tampa to go #FastFoodFree and and promote #PlantBasedRx!
- Ask your local hospital to adopt the Healthy Food Options in Hospitals policy issued by the American Medical Association (AMA). Hospitals should provide tasty, plant-based options that can speed recovery as well as prevent and even reverse diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Hospitals should also eliminate cancer-causing processed meats including hot dogs and bacon.
