💚🎄 The Grinch’s Guide to Holiday Food Safety ❄️💚

The Grinch may be known for stealing Christmas, but even he knows the fastest way to ruin a holiday feast is with unsafe food handling. So before you carve the roast beast, our Dietary Team at Chadron Community Hospital has a few reminders straight from Whoville.

💚 Keep hot foods at 140°F or warmer
If it’s supposed to be hot, keep it hot — crockpots, warming trays, and ovens are your friends.

💚 Keep cold foods at 40°F or colder
Cold dishes belong on ice, not sitting out getting cozy with bacteria.

💚 Remember the 2-hour rule
If food has been sitting out longer than two hours, it goes in the fridge — not back on the table.

💚 Store leftovers safely
Use shallow containers so food cools quickly and evenly before refrigerating or freezing.

💚 Share with care
If you have unopened or extra food you won’t use — don’t toss it. Donate it and make someone’s holiday a little brighter.

Even the Grinch loves a safe holiday meal — because nobody wants a Christmas that ends with a stomachache. 💚😄

At Chadron Hospital, we want you to feel supported, not stressed.
Our Billing Department is here to answer questions, help you stay on top of statements, and guide you through your options.
If you have questions about deductibles, coinsurance, or coverage, your insurance provider is the best place to start — but you’re never navigating this season alone.
We’re here to help every step of the way. 💙
