In Fort Mill, South Carolina, a distinguished team from AMOREM recently showcased their culinary mastery at the annual culinary immersion clinic organized by Premiere and US Foods. The team, led by Lead Dietary Specialist Tina Avery and Dietary Specialist Tina Bryant, tied for second place in a culinary competition held during the course of the clinic.

Capping off the array is a course dedicated to promoting versatility by using single products in multiple ways.
Bringing New Skills for Patient Care
“These learning sessions provide us with a wealth of knowledge to take home,” expressed an elated Avery. The AMOREM team was particularly thrilled about bringing innovative cost-saving ideas, modern cooking methods, fresh procedures, and diverse recipes from various cultural backgrounds into their patient care units.
A Majestic Finale
