Congratulations to MU Health Care Dining and Nutrition Services
Kudos to Lorena Moyer and the Patient Kitchen Morale Committee at University Hospital! Lorena’s group has been tracking their steps while on shift with plans to celebrate with a party when they arrive at their first destination—New Orleans. They mapped out cities that were around 1-2 million steps apart and once they arrive, they hold celebrations with a theme. They are funding their party via funds raised through a bake sale. Next stop for the group is Mexico City, Mexico. If your group would like to start tracking steps, let us know by emailing Blaine at SnowB@umsystem.edu, we can help you get started today.
