Menu of Change Report

In 2008 HCWH released the first Menu of Change Report, documenting the progress and establishing benchmarks for sustainable hospital food service operations.  The 2011 Menu of Change Report contains the results of a 2011 survey of health care institutions engaged in Healthy Food in Health Care work, from which the 2011 Sustainable Food in Health Care Awards were derived. The 2011 Menu of Change Report also contains a summary of HFHC national initiatives, program highlights from 2010, and detailed information on the winners of the 2011 HCWH awards.  Download, view and share the reports:
