As the nation faces disruptions to federal food assistance benefits, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), RWJBarnabas Health today reaffirmed our ongoing commitment to combatting food insecurity in New Jersey by providing $1M to support 14 local feeding organizations serving vulnerable communities across the state. For our health system, this is not simply a reaction to a moment of crisis, but a continuation of nearly two decades of intentional investment and partnership to ensure that residents have reliable access to nutritious food – today and for the long term.

Congratulations to our October Employee of the Month Sandra Marino, a menu technician with our Food & Nutrition Services’ team who is praised for her excellent customer service skills and always going above and beyond to get the patients what they need. In nominating Sandy, her manager, Lori Snable shared:
“Sandy always comes to work with a smile on her face, a happy greeting for her coworkers and a positive attitude. She often will come down to the kitchen and locate the special food items that a patient is requesting and delivers them directly to them. We have received many positive comments regarding Sandy and what great work she does for MMC, from both patients and members of the nursing team who have witnessed her positive interactions with patients. She is especially appreciated by the patients who stay for an extended period of time as she is able to assist them in diversifying their menu choices, and is always a friendly face who visits them daily to chat. Sandy is a team player and works well with all of the different members of the Food and Nutrition Services’ team. She is one of the main trainers for the menu technicians and exercises her patience, flexibility and expertise in this process. We are lucky to have her as such an integral part of our team!”
Thank you Sandy for making a difference for our patients and your colleagues!
