Employees Wellnes

MUSC Employee Wellness and Sodexo are joining together to host a live cooking event, Healthy Holiday Live! Adding Local Flavor to Your Holiday Celebrations at noon, Friday, Dec. 2 on the plaza of the new Clyburn research complex.

Last year MUSC and Sodexo joined the South Carolina Hospital Association (SCHA), Live 5 News and other area hospitals to promote a healthy holiday campaign focusing on healthy cooking to avoid holiday weight gain. In support of that campaign, the first annual Healthy Holiday Live! event took place the week before Thanksgiving.

This year's theme focuses on choosing fresh, local, and sustainable food for holiday celebrations and will feature dishes prepared with produce and seafood purchased locally. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample dishes and purchase items. Dietitians and health experts from MUSC and the community will be on hand to answer questions and provide information on keeping it local, fresh and healthy this holiday season.
For information, email musc-empwell@musc.edu or call 792-1245.
