The issues and information that surround community health are both complex and continuously changing. At GraceMed, we believe it is part of our responsibility as one of the largest providers of community healthcare in the region to keep our patients and the communities we serve as informed as possible. We take on a wide variety of these subjects in our State of Grace magazine while also keeping you informed about our evolving mission to serve the underserved. You can browse through past issues of State of Grace here. We feature selected articles from the magazine in the Journal below from time to time as well as a wide variety of information about GraceMed news, health topics and even the occasional healthy recipe.
Food Forgery
What is food?
At first glance, this question seems almost silly. It’s obvious what food is, right? Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

It’s easy to make with a few staples so when you don’t have a dinner plan, this dish will more than satisfy, and it’s a great way to get seafood into your diet. Depending on the ingredients you choose, tuna casserole can be made for under $12.
Fruit Delight
We know desserts can be very tempting for many of us, but when we indulge in them we often just fill our bodies with empty calories and too much processed sugar, which is harmful to our health. So when your sweet tooth refuses to be ignored, why not try this delicious recipe? Fruit Delight is a sweet treat that is light, nutritious and quick to make. Made from fresh fruit, nuts and whipped cream this dish is surprisingly delicious and healthy. It is also easy to double this recipe for larger gatherings.
Easy Peasy Pita Pizza
It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like pizza. And everyone has a favorite topping, whether it’s cheese, meat or vegetables. While it’s easy just to order a pizza and pick it up, or have it delivered, it’s more satisfying and nutritious, not to mention cheaper, when you make it yourself. Plus, by making your own, you can choose to make it as healthy as you want, as you have control over all of the ingredients.
