Phoebe Putney is incorporating more whole grains, steamed vegetables, and healthy options in their new menu.

Phoebe Sous Chef Kristian Johnsen says Phoebe is a health care facility and needs to practice what they preach.  “We’re going to offer tastier healthy food choices for people, but they can still get a hamburger if they really want it” says Johnsen.

Phoebe officials say they hope the new menu items will inspire people to make healthier food choices.
