Attached is Section 1 of the Fall 2009 MD H2E Sustainable Food Newsletter, which is a Special “Buy Local” Report about the hospitals that participated in the Buy Local Challenge this Summer. We have divided this newsletter into 5 sections since we received stories and pictures from so many of the 27 hospitals & nursing homes that participated (an updated number from the previous 25).
We will send out the remaining 4 sections over the next few weeks so that it’s in smaller segments that you’ll have time to read. In the end, we will compile it as 1 online report which you can share with others. We begin with an overview of the activities and some highlights from several of the hospitals (see attached).
