TAKING CARE
Despite the overwhelming challenges healthcare operators have faced in the past year, they have persevered to provide for patients, residents and diners in their greater communities. While 5% of operators who responded to a recent FoodService Director survey said they haven’t been experiencing obstacles related to COVID-19, many aired struggles with low census counts, product procurement and staffing. Scroll below for FSD’s 2021 report on the state of healthcare foodservice, for which we surveyed over 170 hospital and senior—living operators across the country to learn how they’ve been tackling dining room shutdowns, sales declines and more.
