Healthy Foods Letter and Survey

The Public Relations and Marketing Committee was assigned the following resolution from the 2008 House of Delegates.

RESOLVED: That the MAFP encourages hospitals to adopt policies and implement practices that increase the purchasing and serving of food that promotes health and prevents disease, and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED: That the MAFP recognize and publicize those organizations that serve as healthy role models by participating in and promoting a healthier and more sustainable food system that improves eating habits, increases patient and public health, and supports the long-term social, economic, and environmental well-being of communities in Minnesota and throughout the world.

Committee members prepared a letter and survey that was sent to Minnesota hospitals in early March 2009.
