In 1985, one of the legacy organizations of the Association for Healthcare Foodservice (AHF) set aside the first week of October to honor and celebrate healthcare foodservice workers. Then, in 1989, Congress officially recognized the first full week of October as Healthcare Foodservice Workers Week.
During this week long celebration, we take the time to celebrate the dedicated professionals who are the key ingredient in delivering nutrition excellence to patients. Healthcare foodservice workers are integral to the seamless operation of healthcare facilities on a daily basis. This year, with the grand opening of Healthy Home Cafe, our foodservice workers have seen a large increase in the number of meals they are preparing. We salute these hardworking ladies and appreciate all they do for Optim Medical Center-Screven!
