Aramark Leverages Micromarkets In Growing Healthcare Sector

PHILADELPHIA -- Aramark has signed four new healthcare contracts, and its micromarkets are serving as an opening wedge into the growing sector.

Building on its relationship with the 1,200-bed Einstein Healthcare Network in Philadelphia, Aramark has introduced its Vibe micromarkets, providing employees and visitors with grab-and-go food items at any time of day or night. The company has provided patient and retail foodservice for Einstein Healthcare Network since 2009.

At southern New Jersey's 607-bed Kennedy Health, Aramark has a new contract to provide both patient and retail foodservice at the system's Cherry Hill and Stratford facilities and its Washington Township campus. The patient dining program at all three locations will undergo a transition to Aramark's "room service" model, which works like a hotel, enabling patients to call orders for custom-made foods from a full menu at any time throughout the day. Food services will also include Aramark's Healthy for Life program, designed to offer and promote better-for-you food choices.

Aramark has also signed new contracts with Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Tennessee and Philadelphia's Thomas Jefferson University Health System.

Aramark's Healthcare Sector provides hospitals and senior living facilities with patient and retail dining and facility solutions along with healthcare technology management programs for biomedical, diagnostic imaging and laboratory equipment.
