Project

Completed

A unique program in Kotzebue, Alaska, allows the hospital to serve traditional foods to elders by processing locally harvested caribou, moose, fowl, and fish. This initiative was made possible by a clause in the Farm Bill that permits traditional foods to be donated to senior care facilities, circumventing federal regulations that previously restricted such practices.
