Hospital Municipal Santa Isabel expands employee nutrition program to night shift
The Hospital Municipal Santa Isabel in Brazil has expanded its Projeto Cuidar Integral, a health‑promotion programme for staff, to include nutritional counseling for night‑shift workers.
The initiative, launched in 2025 after a survey of about 400 collaborators identified high rates of overweight, chronic disease, stress and unhealthy habits, originally provided psychological and psychiatric support and targeted priority cases. Nutritionist Maja Lima leads the nutritional component.
Participants have shown strong adherence; 46‑year‑old administrative assistant Patrícia Moreira, for example, has lost 14 kg, reports better sleep and increased energy, and says the programme changed her life. Hospital officials say the expansion reflects the positive health, disposition and quality‑of‑life outcomes observed among staff.
