A daily scratch-made chef's special: Baptist Health brings 'Food is Medicine' to its patient menu
Baptist Health in Louisville is bringing a 'Food is Medicine' approach to its patient menu, with more locally sourced and made-from-scratch meals. Each day patients can choose a different chef's special created by dietitians and chefs, and the team has increased homemade soups, homemade sauces, fruits and vegetables. New dishes include honey-citrus glazed salmon and a patient-friendly take on the hot brown, marking the dish's 100th anniversary.
Why it matters for directors: Patient menus improve fastest when chefs and dietitians design dishes together rather than in sequence. Try this: launch one rotating chef-and-dietitian special per day and add a local or regional classic adapted to diet orders.
