All Things GREAT: Updates from NFCA's Gluten-Free Industry Initiatives

Paoli Hospital Goes GREAT

Paoli Hospital, a nationally recognized acute care hospital in the Philadelphia area and member of Main Line Health, is now well-prepared to meet gluten-free needs.

The food service department, which is managed by ARAMARK Healthcare, obtained Gluten-Free Resource Education and Awareness Training (GREAT) in the spring of 2011.

The staff and management team participated in educational training and food production modification techniques to ensure that they will be able to properly serve both patients and guests gluten-free foods.

Patients admitted to Paoli who need to follow a gluten-free diet can rest assured that the food service department takes GREAT pride in being a GREAT Kitchen and strives for the highest level of patient and customer satisfaction. 

Patients will be hand-delivered a gluten-free menu that has been especially designed by the Executive Chef and Registered Dietitian team.

The kitchen has teamed up with Kimberton Whole Foods to provide the best possible gluten-free products available.

In the spring of 2010, Paoli Hospital opened its Celiac Center to serve outpatients with (or thought to have) celiac disease or gluten intolerance. The Center serves as a local resource to help manage and embrace the gluten-free lifestyle.  From screening to nutritional counseling, to consultations with their specialists, Paoli Hospital is there to help.

For more information and/or to make an appointment with the Celiac Center at Paoli Hospital, please call 1-866-CELIAC1 (1-866-235-4221) or visit mainlinehealth.org/paoliceliac.
