Diagnosing the Future of Hospital Food

Posted on Thursday, November 24th, 2016

Nov. 23, 2016 (Ottawa) — If you’ve ever been sick, you know the important role of food in your recovery. Food can provide energy, help build immunity, and put us in the positive frame of mind that’s needed to get us back on our feet. For these reasons, hospitals around the world are taking note of how they can help their patients by updating their menus.

Algonquin College and the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) are proud to present the seventh instalment of the Future of Health and Wellness Speaker Series this Friday, Nov. 25.

This session’s keynote speaker will be Dr. Andrew Pipe, Chief of the Division of Prevention and Rehabilitation at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and a Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Ottawa.

Dr. Pipe is a leading expert on smoking cessation and cardiovascular disease prevention, and he has a particular interest in food policy and hospitality practices and their role in accentuating health.

Join us as Dr. Pipe shares his findings and looks at the future direction of hospitals and hospitality.
