Norton Healthcare cares about your health in more ways than one, including what you eat. Visit a Norton cafeteria for farm fresh produce along with grass-fed beef burgers every Friday. It’s part of the Norton Healthcare “Look for Local” initiative. You’ll discover more than just health benefits when you look for local.
