National Healthcare Food Service Workers Week
Help celebrate National Healthcare Food Service Workers Week
In October 1989, President George Bush announced the first annual “National Health Care Food Service Week,” to observe the contributions of professionals in the health care food service industry. The week of observation reaches out to professionals such as cooks, chefs, bakers, dietary aides, dieticians, and food service volunteers who provide delicious and health conscious meals for health care facility patients, guests and staff.
From the preparation to the delivery of foods in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, these professionals often work behind the scenes, but play an integral role in the nourishment of staff and patients. For those that go above and beyond to make sure that everyone’s dietary needs are met, “National Health Care Food Service Week” recognizes the extent of their culinary contributions to patient care at FirstLight Health System.
Please take a moment to thank our talented Dietary Staff at FirstLight for their dedication and commitment to quality care!
To help with patient education, and provide support to our patients, this brochure was made as a handy reference guide highlighting the support groups that FirstLight offers. This same information can be found on our public website under
