Not long after Mayor Eric Adams and NYC Health+Hospitals CEO Mitchell Katz recently announced that Vegan lunches would be become the default option at three NYC hospitals, the city says the meals are being well-received by patients at the facilities.
H+H/Lincoln, Metropolitan, and Woodhull Hospitals, the city says the healthier meals are being well-received by patients at the three facilities.
With H+H serving approximately 3 million lunch and dinner meals each year, the mayor and Katz believe that offering tasty and healthy food to patients could have a profound effect on the war on obesity and diabetes by introducing New Yorkers to food they may have never otherwise never known about. “I know from my own experience overcoming Type 2 diabetes with a whole-food, plant-based diet that oftentimes,” Mayor Adams told amNewYorkMetro. “By introducing nutritious, plant-based, culturally appropriate meals as the primary options for patients at NYC Health + Hospitals facilities, we can reduce rates of chronic disease like the one I suffered from and send a clear message that the food we eat matters — for recovery from illness and overall health.
