Food Services @ St. Joseph’s London (Nourish Team): Amy Ford, Michelle Stranges, Deana D’Ambrosio, Barb Adams, Trina Smith, Lori Higgs, Michelle Braecker, Brianne Curry
The Food and Nutrition leadership team at St. Joseph’s Health Care London Is reducing food waste within their operations that feed 1,000 people daily. They have set a goal to redirect their safe surpluses to community needs, and to compost the rest. They are actively transitioning to a model with more localized procurement, benefiting many Ontario farmers. They are also taking steps towards the installation of an on-site greenhouse on Parkwood Institute’s grounds which will provide food production capacity for patient and resident meals.
