Not long after Mayor Eric Adams and NYC Health+Hospitals CEO Mitchell Katz recently announced that Vegan lunches would be become the default option in at H+H/Lincoln, Metropolitan, and Woodhull Hospitals, the city says the healthier meals are being well-received by patients at the three facilities.
According to City Hall, these healthy meals are being served within all Health+Hospitals while being served as default lunch in three of the medical centers. Moreover, a staggering 60% of patients have chosen to stick with the plant-based option over the meat counterpart.
