Success Story: UW Health CEO videos
As a part of the Healthy Hospital Community of Practice, UW Health, a participating facility, released a series of videos highlighting the system’s transition to offer healthier food and beverage options. Former UW Health CEO Jeffrey Grossman, MD, said the move toward healthy food and beverage options has been worth the effort because in a health care system, the return on investment is improved health.
