City of Hope

Nourishing Hope, the foodservice program at cancer center City of Hope, seeks to support patients and guests with an array of fresh, nutritious foods. Its dishes center on such antioxidant-rich ingredients as organic produce, wild-caught salmon and poultry raised without hormones. Several recent offerings featured global flavors, such as poisson yassa, a Gambian fish dish, and xia, Asian-style walnut shrimp, served alongside tofu fried rice and stir-fried snow peas and peppers. In addition, an onsite garden open to hospital patients, staff and visitors aims to benefit the community and further cement the link between nutrition and wellness.
