As places of healing, hospitals have a natural incentive, and an obligation, to serve food that’s healthy for people and the environment in which we live. During this day long gathering, hospital executives in charge of food procurement will be spending the day in Gloucester to hear about our work, our definition of sustainability, meet local fishermen, learn about seafood chain of custody, take a tour of the harbor on local fishing boats and leave having the tools to make good seafood decisions.
