It’s quite a surprise for patients to see Jamar Sheffey serving three different hummus creations in the waiting room of the Womens Cancer Center of Magee Womens Hospital of UPMC in Oakland.
Sheffey is team lead caterer at Magee and many of the ingredients come from the garden on site. He’s also showing visitors how they can make the same dish at home.
Many aren’t familiar with hummus and they exchange laughs as he demonstrates different ways to make the dish. There’s even a recipe card to take with them.
It’s part of a nutrition program created by the hospital to help patients eat better and, in turn, hopefully feel better.
