National Healthcare Supply Chain Week (SC Week) is October 2-8, and the theme is: Supply Chain: Leading Change. Advancing Healthcare. In today’s rapidly shifting healthcare landscape, hospitals and health systems are increasingly challenged to reduce costs and improve patient outcomes without sacrificing the quality of care. Supply chain professionals play a pivotal role in leading their organizations to meet these demands and continue to thrive amid changes.

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!
