"Four Star" Food Service

When you come to the hospital, you might not expect to be able to order up fresh, organic and local food when you want it, and have it delivered by room service.  But at Fletcher Allen, that's exactly what you'll find.

This service is winning "four star reviews" from our patients and families, and our efforts have also been recognized in the national meda. 

Vermont Fresh

We’re part of the Vermont Fresh Network, which encourages farmers, food producers and chefs to build partnerships that contribute to stronger local communities and economies.

And we were one of the first hospitals in the country to sign the "Healthy Food in Health Care" Pledge – a commitment to serve local, nutritious and sustainable food.

We support many local products such as maple syrup, cheese, rBST-free milk, and a variety of local organic vegetables -- supporting local companies and their products everyday. 

Read more about our Green initiatives and how "green" is an essential part of our Nutritional Services.

These efforts ensure that Fletcher Allen is providing food that is both nutritious, and is produced in a way that’s good for our environment and community.
