FOOD IS MEDICINE

Physicians, registered dietitian nutritionists, economists, and politicians—with unprecedented unity—are warning that the recent increases in obesity and diabetes are creating extraordinary public health challenges nationally and globally. According to a recent Institute of Medicine report: “The great advances of genetics and biomedical discoveries could be more than offset by the burden of illness, disability, and death caused by too many people eating unhealthy and moving too little over their lifetime.”

GHG has the capability and the experience to set up “self-operated” healthy dining services, that support your healthcare system in becoming a food service model of the future. Its design and operation will not just serve your patients and your stakeholders, it will also attract the community to take advantage of this service and at the same time become a powerful education tool. GHG has proven that such model will further enhance the hospital’s image as a community center for wellbeing, drive new revenue streams, lower costs and improve people’s lives.
