Fueling the Food as Medicine Movement
Boost Nutrition and Patient Health by Growing Food Year-Round on Your Campus
Free Webinar October 28 11 AM - 11:30AM EST
Transform Patient Nutrition. Cut Waste. Boost Revenue.
Up to 50% of hospital patients face malnutrition—leading to longer stays and higher readmissions. At the same time, healthcare facilities waste tons of produce every year due to spoilage. What if you could serve patients fresh, pesticide-free food grown just steps from their rooms?
Join our 30-minute webinar to see how container farming is fueling the Food as Medicine movement.

Sean Toor, Operations Manager
Advent Health Celebration
Sean manages three container farms at Advent Health's Celebration campus, overseeing the day-to-day operations that have driven remarkable results—from tripling salad bar revenue to extending produce shelf life fourfold. He'll share firsthand insights into implementation, staff engagement, community impact, and lessons learned from scaling from one farm to three based on proven success.
Featured Case Study: AdventHealth Celebration
The first hospital in the Southeast to implement container farming, AdventHealth started with one farm in 2021 and expanded to three by 2024 based on measurable success. Their produce shelf life increased from 2-3 days to 7-8 days, cafeteria hours expanded by 28 hours weekly to serve night shift staff, and the farms now serve multiple campuses while providing educational opportunities for the community.
