“Memorial Hospital strives to provide a healthy workplace for our employees; we work to promote healthy behaviors including making healthy food choices. Hosting the farmers market on our campus provides our employees with access to fresh fruits and vegetables and showcases what is available at our local farmers market. We hope that our employees as well as community members will join us again for this special opportunity,” said Douglas.
While the idea behind this market is to expose Memorial Hospital employees to the options of fresh fruits and vegetables, the entire community is invited to come out and Shop Nac First at this special edition of the Farmer’s Market.
