Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis
Indiana () is a U.S. state in the Midwestern United States. It is the 38th-largest by area and the 17th-most populous of the 50 States. Its capital and largest city is Indianapolis. Indiana was admitted to the United States as the 19th state on December 11, 1816. It is bordered by Lake Michigan to the northwest, Michigan to the north, Ohio to the east, the Ohio River and Kentucky to the south and southeast, and the Wabash River and Illinois to the west. Various indigenous peoples inhabited what would become Indiana for thousands of years, some of whom the U.S. government expelled between 1800 and 1836. Indiana received its name because the state was largely possessed by native tribes even after it was granted statehood. Since then, settlement patterns in Indiana have reflected regional cultural segmentation present in the Eastern United States; the state's northernmost tier was settled primarily by people from New England and New York, Central Indiana by migrants from t ...

Eskenazi Health Art Collection
The Eskenazi Health Art Collection consists of a wide variety of artworks composed of fragments from the 1914 City Hospital mural and artwork project, artworks added over time, and newer pieces which include works created for the new Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital and campus in 2013. Other works have been added occasionally; there are also artworks at the clinics throughout Marion County. 1914 City Hospital mural and artwork project In 1911, the Indianapolis City Hospital expanded by adding two dedicated patient buildings, the Burdsal Units, named after Alfred Burdsal, a wealthy businessman and the project's benefactor.

While the amount of St. Margaret's donation is unclear, sources indicate it was $200 – $1,000. The Guild approached the president of the City Board of Health, Dr. T. Victor Keene, who consulted local artists, i ...

Hospital Food
Food in UK hospitals has been the subject of attention from celebrity chefs. James Martin was tasked with revamping the menu and catering facilities at Scarborough General Hospital in September 2011, for ''Operation Hospital Food'' for the BBC. The show was recommissioned for a second and third series which were shown on BBC One in 2013 and 2014 respectively. Prue Leith is patron of Sustain's Campaign for Better Hospital Food and backed a new review of hospital food standards by Matt Hancock in August 2019. Standards In 2013 the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges called for food-based standards to be mandatory in all UK hospitals as part of their campaign against obesity. In 2016 NHS England rolled out national targets to reduce junk food and improve the availability of healthier options in English hospitals. According to Sustain in 2019 "the lack of teeth to uphold food standards to date has meant hospitals have been free to ignore them." In 2020 the Care Quality Commissio ...

Local Food
Local food is food that is produced within a short distance of where it is consumed, often accompanied by a social structure and supply chain different from the large-scale supermarket system. Local food (or "locavore") movements aim to connect food producers and consumers in the same geographic region, to develop more self-reliant and resilient food networks; improve local economies; or to affect the health, environment, community, or society of a particular place. The term has also been extended to include not only the geographic location of supplier and consumer but can also be "defined in terms of social and supply chain characteristics." For example, local food initiatives often promote sustainable and organic farming practices, although these are not explicitly related to the geographic proximity of producer and consumer. Local food represents an alternative to the global food model, which often sees food traveling long distances before it reaches the consumer. H ...
