Morrison Healthcare and The Common Market Advance Local Food Sourcing in Healthcare
Morrison Healthcare is proud to partner with The Common Market to connect healthcare communities with fresh, locally sourced food while supporting farmers and regional food systems.
This year, several Morrison Healthcare accounts were recognized as Farmer Champions through The Common Market’s Farmer Champion Program, which celebrates organizations committed to supporting local agriculture.
Farmer Champion Recognition Highlights Commitment to Local Agriculture
“Being recognized as a Farmer Champion highlights the success of this collaboration and the value of sourcing locally whenever possible,” said George Sigeti, Regional Executive Chef for Northside Hospital Cherokee. “Our partnership with The Common Market allows Morrison Healthcare to bring fresh, locally sourced food to our patients and guests while supporting regional farmers and strengthening local food systems.”
The partnership also allows Morrison Healthcare teams to share the stories behind the food they serve and highlight the farmers who make it possible.
“It’s rewarding to know that we are doing our part to support local farms that have been in business for generations and the tremendous amount of hard work that goes into providing fresh produce,” said Kyle Baggerly, Regional Director of Operations with Morrison Healthcare.
