“In addition
to their experience with trans-fat elimination, Windber Medical
Center and Cura Hospitality share a common philosophy of caring
for others,” adds Jacobs. “WindberCare provides both high-tech
and high-touch care that emphasizes healing mind, body and
spirit, based on the Planetree model. Cura’s LivingLife
philosophy is dedicated to nourishing the body and uplifting the
spirit through great food. Working together on a project like
this really plays to both organizations’ strengths.”
The goals of
the trans-fat free program are to eliminate a known health
hazard from meals served by the hospital; to raise awareness of
the dangers of trans-fats in both the hospital and the
community; and to encourage patients, families and employees to
eliminate trans-fats from their diets at home in order to reduce
the risk of developing heart disease.
