Food & You & Health: Healthier options in the hospital cafés

The EHC hospital cafés have made amazing strides the past two years in bringing healthier options to our plates. You may have noticed the following changes when frequenting the cafés:

- Emory University Hospital’s (EUH) Asbury Court has fry-less Tuesdays and Fridays. On these days, the fryers are turned off and no deep-fried foods are served.

- A reduced fat Well & Good soup is offered each day at Asbury Court and Emory University Hospital Midtown’s Savory Fare.

- Bumblefish sushi is available every week day at Asbury Court and Savory Fare.

- Fried foods are served less frequently on Asbury Court’s Main Event line, as well as on the hot lines at Savory Fare, Emory University Orthopaedics & Spine Hospital’s Café Express and Wesley Woods Geriatric Hospital’s Magnolia Woods Café.

- Bishop’s Pantry at EUH now serves light Grab & Go wraps.

- A weekly rotation of whole grain salads, light salads and wrap specials are now on the menu at Savory Fare.

Food & You & Vegetables: Fresh, local fare now available in hospital cafés!

In the summer months, at least 20 percent of the produce served in the EHC hospital cafés is from a local or regional farm. In May, 50 percent of the produce served at EUH and 21 percent of the produce served at EUHM was sustainable. And, this isn’t the only step our Food & Nutrition team is taking to fill our plates with fresh and beautiful produce! EUOSH’s Café Express and WWGH’s Magnolia Woods now provide additional vegetable choices on their salad bars and also offer salads as the main entrees. At EUH’s Asbury Court, fresh, seasonal salads, as well as new specialty entrees and vegetables, are offered several times a week on the Chef’s Choice line.
