Local grocery stores and farmers have partnered to implement onsite markets at area hospitals, ensuring access to essential items for frontline health care employees as facilities brace for a surge of COVID-19 patients.
Dignity Health’s Memorial and Mercy hospitals will launch grocery stores in their cafeterias late this week, according to Ken Keller, president and CEO of Dignity Health Memorial Hospital. He stressed the importance these markets will hold for employees who will begin working extended hours, as an uptick in COVID-19 patients is expected in the coming weeks.
