Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis will close the McDonald's in its facility as part of a campaign to improve food choices, according to an article on the Star Tribune website.
Allina Health, Abbott’s parent organization, last week announced that it is discharging this McDonald’s after a 25-year-old business relationship. The restaurant’s lease will end May 31.
The move is part of a new, systemwide strategy to rid vending machines and food-service areas of unhealthful choices.
Minnesota’s other medical centers have made similar moves. Earlier this year, HealthPartners announced that it would move forcefully to limit sales of sugary drinks at its locations in 2016.
