Group opposes fast food franchises in healthcare facilities

Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine campaign launches ad blitz


The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine campaign launched an ad blitz opposing fast food in healthcare facility cafeterias, according to an article on the Healthcare Finance News website.
