Spire Partnership Improves Health Outcomes One Meal at a Time
A bold partnership between North Sarah Food Hub and BJC Community Health Improvement, fueled by the generosity of SPIRE, is making an impact on food-insecure patients with uncontrolled diabetes and their families at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Christian Hospital. “Nutrition is the foundation for good health,” says Gibron Jones, executive director of North Sarah Food Hub, in a new video.
The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital is grateful to Spire for their grant to BJC HealthCare’s Food as Medicine program and their long-term, trusted partnership to improve the health and well-being of our neighbors and our community.
