Food is so much more than fuel for the body . Food brings us together , brings back memories , and brings us hope . Food is tradition . Eating the foods we are familiar with is both nourishing and nurturing .
As the food service provider for the Alaska Native Medical Center ( ANMC ), bringing traditional foods to the patient menu has become a mission for NMS . Now , when NANA Elders and fellow residents of the NANA region find themselves as patients at ANMC , they can request favorite foods from the menu , such as reindeer , salmon , berries , and , most recently , herring eggs , fiddlehead ferns and beach asparagus .
In order to offer donated traditional foods on the patient menu , the NMS food service team at ANMC established policies and procedures for collecting , processing , preserving and distributing traditional foods before they reach the hospital menu . NMS worked arduously with ANMC to serve traditional foods that Elders and other Alaska Native patients both prefer and appreciate .
“ NMS is truly dedicated to increasing the number of traditional foods we serve our patients and guests ,” says Robin Wade , the director of food services for NMS health care accounts . “ Traditional foods are an important element of the healing process , and the entire NMS team is passionate about bringing these familiar foods to our Alaska Native patients . Having the foods they know and enjoy available to them during their stay here at ANMC is comforting and critical to their overall well-being .”
NMS is continuing to advocate for the traditional foods served at ANMC and is seeking to expand the list of traditional foods they are able to offer on the menu .
