Today Gore Health goes live with the implementation of Meals from Koha Kai for our inpatient meals and meals on wheels. Koha Kai provide fresh and nutritious meals. Our partnership is about more than food - it's about shared values, nourishment, connection and supporting better outcomes for patients. If you would like to utilise our Meals on Wheels service then give us a call.
Just over a week now, till we launch our new initiative. Supporting our Gore Community, both in Gore Health (Hospital) and for their Meals on Wheels community outreach.
Whenever we begin something new like this, we always have a practice day, and that was last week. A resounding success for in-patients and Meals on Wheels recipients alike. We are so thrilled to be able to offer this service. It is essentially Tīmata meals and our feedback from patients was everything from a lady who lives with celiac disease and can have no gluten whatsoever, she was thrilled that for the first time in about three years she had gravy on her meal. To a so-called "Fussy Eater" who ate the lot. To an elderly man who looked at his meal and declared he could never get though all that - - - and he did.
Our priority is to support the wellbeing of all people, but especially our most vulnerable in the community. But its not just for some - we want everyone for whatever reason they reach out - we want them to have the access to the best, most nourishing, flavoursome food we can make. Heat and eat. So we are gearing up, and ramping up and looking forward to moving on from the schools contract which ends with the school year, and staying with our focus which is feeding our community with the best that we can offer.
