Those who attend the Butler Health System Food Institute can look forward to gobbling up a healthy and delicious Thanksgiving dinner, and all of their own making.

Breanna Lamberger, nutritional health liaison at the Food Institute, said she has ordered enough food to pack bags for 200 clients to make a fresh Thanksgiving dinner for themselves and their families.

She explained that BHS doctors' offices ask their patients trigger questions that can reveal food insecurity.

The office then contacts the Food Institute to refer the patient for lessons on buying and preparing healthy food at home.
