The Rhode Island Health Care Local Food Challenge was a project administered by Health Care Without Harm’s (HCWH) New England Healthy Food in Health Care Program, in partnership with Farm Fresh Rhode Island (FFRI) and Northern Rhode Island Area Health Education Center. It began May 1, 2015 and concluded September 11, 2016. Using a fun and competitive structure, the challenge was designed to inspire participating hospitals to support New England food producers and fishers. The challenge engaged six hospitals in a competition for $1000 in prize money, awarded to the hospital that earned the greatest amount of points in three categories: procurement, education, and employee engagement.
