Name or title of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) created the Mobile Education Kitchen to take its nutrition expertise on the road. The Mobile Education Kitchen will focus on nutrition as it relates to cancer risk-reduction through food. Its purpose is to educate the public about healthy, cancer-preventive foods and how to prepare these foods not only in tasty ways, but in ways everyone can understand and do at home. This includes directing attention to the American Institute for Cancer Research’s nutritional recommendations.
Not to be confused with the typical retail food trucks that are so popular these days, the OSUCCC – James mobile kitchen will visit community festivals, public health events, health-related fairs, athletic events and more to deliver hands-on nutrition education in places where the public gathers. Teams including chefs and dietitians, as well as Ohio State students completing their dietetic internships, will staff the kitchen, offering cooking demonstrations, food samples and nutrition information.
Celebration for Life, the signature annual fundraising event for the James Fund for Life, funded the Mobile Kitchen with a generous $500,000 gift. The kitchen is operated by culinary experts in nutrition services at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
