A great initiative at the IHBN

A great initiative at the IHBN (Hematology Institute Lower Normandy), gourmet lunches for patients hospitalized in a protected area.

Bringing a little comfort to hospitalized patients can also be achieved through food! A wonderful initiative at theHematology Institute of the Caen Normandy University Hospital , with the support of the Chugaï laboratory, and the La Villa Eugène restaurant in Caen.

Thanks to this support, the University Hospital is proud to allow 14 patients hospitalized in a protected area (sterile room) of theHematology Institute of Lower Normandy to enjoy a chef's menu!

These patients stay for an average of four weeks, which is particularly physically demanding. This meal is therefore a true moment of pleasure and escape, improving their well-being, morale, appetite, and emotional and nutritional state.

A big thank you to Xavier Legras ' team at Villa Eugène and chef Benjamin Capello.

On the menu for March 6th:

  • Butternut squash aspic
  • Cubed foie gras and crumble, Chicken ballotine – sweet potato cream, Albufera sauce and vegetables cooked English style
  • Dessert was a delicious homemade caramel rice pudding.
     

This operation will be repeated once a month.

Upcoming dates:

  • April 3
  • May 15 
  • June 12
  • July 10th and
  • August 7
