North Oaks Health is making healthy eating more affordable with the launch of nourished by North Oaks Health, a new initiative offering nutritionally balanced, chef-prepared meals for $3 in the cafeterias at North Oaks Medical Center and North Oaks Rehabilitation Hospital.

“At North Oaks, we know good health starts with everyday choices, and healthy food should be within everyone’s reach,” asserts Michele K. Sutton, FACHE, President and CEO of North Oaks Health. “That is why we are subsidizing the cost of every nourished by North Oaks Health meal to make nutritious food more affordable. We are investing in the health of our workforce, patients, visitors to our hospitals and the communities we serve.” Sutton is pictured second from left, with North Oaks Health's Chief Ancillary Officer Jessica Bennett, Executive Chef Dorian Garner and Director of Ancillary Operations Lisa Prestridge.

Available to everyone, nourished by North Oaks Health offers a budget-friendly choice for anyone looking for nutritious, balanced meals.

The menu features nine rotating meals, with breakfast and lunch options available on weekdays and lunch on weekends. Every meal has at least 10 grams of protein, at least 3 grams of fiber and no trans-fat. Menus will rotate quarterly and initially include an everything bagel breakfast wrap, berry nut yogurt bowl, chicken Parmesan with vegetables and pasta, chimichurri beef and brown rice bowl, shrimp and peanut chili crisp noodle bowl, shawarma chicken bowl, grilled Thai beef salad, fresh fruit Cobb salad, and a spring greens and grain bowl.

Each meal’s packaging includes a QR code linking to nutrition information and healthy living tips curated by registered dietitians, giving consumers practical resources to support healthier choices beyond the meal itself.
