Hospital Grows Organic Produces On Roof For Patients

The Henry Ford West Bloomfield Hospital has taken holistic measures in their own hands by installing a greenhouse garden on their rooftop to grow produce, which will help to feed its patients. It also is the centerpiece to new community outreach programs, such as cooking demonstrations, gardening classes, therapy and yoga.

The garden cost approximately $1 million and will save the hospital $20,000 annually. It is completely self-sustaining and utilizes green forms of energy, including geothermal, solar and wind power – and the concept has become popular locally, with other hospitals working to create a healthier, sustainable food source and community resource.
