The hospital cafeteria is highlighting its healthy options menu as a part of Heart Month. Boxed salads will be available as a menu item each day, in addition to heart-healthy sandwiches.
“Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital was recently recognized nationally for our expertise in heart care,” said Melissa Lockwood, Chief Administrative Officer of Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital. “These heart-healthy initiatives for the community and our staff demonstrate our continued dedication to providing excellent heart care close to home to everyone in the communities we serve.”
Mon Health Preston Memorial Hospital received Chest Pain Center Accreditation from the American College of Cardiology in January based on rigorous onsite evaluation of the staff’s ability to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients who may be experiencing a heart attack.
As Heart Month is celebrated system-wide, Mon Health System is highlighting its heart health benefits offered to all employees.
