Unidine, New Milford Hospital and Plow To Plate

Through the innovative Plow To Plate initiative, New Milford Hospital implemented an award-winning in-room dining program that uses local ingredients whenever possible. Six local farms and a dairy cooperative provide fresh produce and ingredients for the chefs. Fresh herbs are gathered from the hospital's Healing Garden during the growing season. This video clip provides a glimpse into the program.

The New Milford Hospital dining program was featured in a Press Ganey Partners article, "Sustainable nutrition: A hospital makes food a care-quality imperative," that describes the dining program in detail, and shows how patient satisfaction improved and is now consistently ranked in the high 90s.
