EAU CLAIRE, Wis. – The RCU Foundation has made a $150,000 gift to Westfields Hospital Foundation in New Richmond, Wis. The hospital recently completed a kitchen and café remodel to improve healthy food options for patients, visitors, and staff.
The Rivers Café sponsored by RCU Foundation is a redesigned café space and expanded kitchen. The updated facilities are both beautiful and functional.
“Our nutrition services staff can now prepare and cook fresh food for the hospital using locally sourced ingredients whenever possible,” noted JoAnn Wrich, director of the Westfields Hospital Foundation. “We are grateful for the upgraded facilities and excited to continue advancing health through nutrition.”
“Health care is a vital need in our communities, especially now, and the Foundation is proud to support Westfields Hospital,” said John Sackett, president of the RCU Foundation. “The updated kitchen and café will bring benefits to patients, staff, and visitors for many years to come.”
Future kitchen and café offerings will include take-n-bake meals for staff to assist with work-life balance and nutrition classes for patients and community members.
