A Healthy-Living Partnership
Lakes Region General Hospital and Franklin Regional Hospital are proud to partner with Miles Smith Farm and the NH
Meat Hospital Program. We are the first healthcare organization in the State to participate in this program. Through this
partnership, our patients, staff and visitors will be eating healthier meat, free from hormones, antibiotics, artificial additives
and preservatives.
To kick off the program, Miles Smith Farm will be at Franklin Regional Hospital on June 4, and Lakes Region General
Hospital on June 6, where staff and visitors can sample locally raised beef.
In addition to receiving recipes for healthy meat dishes, staff can learn
about the Employee Meat Buyers Club that allows for the purchase of
healthy USDA approved beef at a substantial discount.
At Miles Smith Farm we raise and purchase animals from local farmers
that are entirely grass-fed or fed a minimal amount of grain to obtain that
marbling in an extra tender steak. The reasoning behind this philosophy
is that we want HEALTHY cows and HEALTHY beef for our customers.
Grass-fed beef is healthier to eat because it’s lower in saturated fat and
higher in nutrients like beta-carotene, vitamin E and omega–3 fatty acids.
Our cows are allowed to graze naturally in open pastures exercising their
four legs to develop natural muscling. Cows that eat grass and other
“weeds” aerate the ground, which helps produce more grass, which
puts more oxygen into the atmosphere. Other benefits to eating
