On January 31, 2023, Nourish co-hosted a webinar on implementing health care menus that are plant-rich and more sustainable, in collaboration with the Canadian Coalition for Green Health Care, PEACH Health Ontario, and CASCADES. Insights included:

Many of Ontario health care facilities agree that food service can contribute to patient and planetary health
Initiatives include: switching to room service models, serving plant-rich meals, conducting waste audits
Culturally sensitive menus can rebuild relationships and be part of reconciliation
"Start small, engage stakeholders, seek feedback"
There is power in working and learning from one another, such as in Nourish's upcoming Planetary Health Menus climate program

Speakers included:

Elísabet H. Brynjarsdóttir and Lindi Close, master’s graduates of UBC, who will presented on the integration of plant-rich menus within hospitals and long-term care centres
Marianne Katusin, Director of Support Services at Halton Healthcare, who spoke about the process of integrating plant-based choices into hospital menus
