Reinventing hospital food at Fletcher Allen Health Care

Interesting things happen when a professional chef gets “stolen” from his position in an acclaimed hotel to head up a hospital’s food service operations just as demand for local products has started to soar.

Fletcher Allen Health Care Executive Chef Richard Jarmusz has been at the helm 10 years, and has been able to help lead the facility’s approach towards a more healthful, sustainable and delicious approach to the food it serves. And it’s given Jarmusz and his team the time to build relationships with local farmers.
