HARRIS, NY — Catskill Regional Medical Center hosted a community event for Sullivan County on Wednesday, September 17, called “Eat Healthy. Move More. Be Well.” The event was open to the staff and public and held in the hospital café in conjunction with its exclusive food and nutrition services provider, Morrison Healthcare, and in partnership with Sullivan County Public Health Services.
The purpose of the event was to promote healthy food and exercise. A healthy cooking demonstration was conducted with Chef Peter Newman, a local farmers’ market was onsite, and healthy smoothie samples were offered. Morrison Healthcare provided a life-sized, bicycle-powered smoothie machine in which café visitors and special guests including Assemblywoman Aileen Gunther, local children’s author Kip Kosson, Town of Bethel Supervisor Dan Strum and Sullivan County Department of Health representative Susan Clark peddled to make individual smoothies. The event also kicked off a weekly farmers’ market offering local, fresh fruit and vegetables available for purchase. The Farmers’ Market will be held in the hospital’s café every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. through November 5.
