Kitchen staff at local hospitals in Eastern Ontario will have new guidelines to follow when they prepare menus for patients and staff. The Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN) is working with hospital administrations in the region to make sure meals and snacks served in local hospitals is nutritious, delicious and fits a new healthy food strategy for health care facilities. During their March 26 board meeting LHIN directors received a report from Randy Penney and Laurie Dojeiji on the status of the Healthy Food Strategy for Champlain Hospitals project. Penny is the Renfrew Victoria Hospital chief administrator and also chairs the Healthy Foods in Hospitals Leadership Task Force. Dojeiji is manager for the Health Promotion Network and the Champlain Cardiovascular Disease Preven- tion Network. The present focus of the LHIN healthy food strategy is on hospital cafeterias, ven- ding machine outlets, and all food fran- chises and gift shop operations set up on the premises. So far administration reps from various hospitals in the Champlain LHIN have for- med a joint Chief Executive Officers Table
and a Dietetic Working Group. Work on de- veloping a nutrition framework has begun and several food audits done. Feasibility assessments are underway at designated hospitals as part of the framework develop- ment. The goal is to increase the healthy food offerings on hospital patient and general menus and “fast food” outlets and either remove altogether or reduce the number of less healthy items available. The strategy will also supply guidelines for proper ser- ving sizes and how to provide information on calorie and sodium counts. Hospitals involved in this stage of the strategy development include: Winches- ter District Memorial, University of Ottawa Heart Institute, Ottawa Hospital’s civic cam- pus, Renfrew Victoria, Queensway Carleton, Hawkesbury & District General, the Child- ren’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Carleton Place & District Memorial, and Almonte General.

Children need a safe and exciting setting that provides them plenty of opportunity to explore, discover, experiment, and develop their skills. You can help with your child’s healthy development by creating an environment where they can discover, learn, and play safely. Creating a hazard free and interesting environment for your child is a core principle of the Triple P: Positive Parenting Program®. Young children need adequate supervision. Together, you can encourage your child to explore their surroundings. Provide lots of interesting things for your child to do. Make sure they have safe things to play with like age appropriate toys or provide activities like crafts and games. By providing your child with age appropriate activities, they will eventually learn how to keep themselves entertained. Designed to meet the needs of every family, Triple P takes the guesswork out of parenting. It promotes good communication and strong relationships between children, parents, and caregivers.
