About

The Healthy Food in Health Care initiative of Maryland Hospitals for a Healthy Environment (www.mdh2e.org) works with hospital food service directors and chefs throughout Maryland to support and facilitate increased purchasing of local and sustainably produced foods, and to assist with implementing environmentally sustainable initiatives. This program is part of a national initiative to support hospitals in becoming leaders in environmental sustainability with Health Care Without Harm (www.healthyfoodinhealthcare.org), and with Practice Greenhealth (www.practicegreenhealth.org). Maryland is the leading state in the country with over 40 hospitals implementing environmentally sustainable initiatives. There are now 17 health care facilities in Maryland and over 265 around the country that have signed the Healthy Food in Health Care Pledge, making a public commitment to provide increasingly more local, sustainably produced foods at their facilities (www.noharm.org/us/food/pledge). During the 2009 Buy Local Challenge, 27 hospitals participated by buying local foods or engaging their employees to eat local foods. There are now 7 hospitals with farmers' markets, 2 hospitals with CSAs, 7 hospitals composting, and several more that are planning to launch these initiatives in 2010. This program is a grant funded initiative through the University of Maryland School of Nursing, funded by the Association of Baltimore Area Grantmakers and also previously funded by the USDA‟s Federal State Marketing Improvement Program.
