AUSTIN (KXAN) — A hospital chain with a big presence in Central Texas is providing grocery store staples at a discounted price to employees at pop-up markets so they can spend less time shopping and more time home with their families.
Ascension Seton opened the mini-shops in cafeterias at all their hospitals. The idea started at Dell Seton Medical Center at the University of Texas at Austin, and now the chain is expanding the model to hospitals in 20 states.
“A lot of the objective was to allow these associates to be able to spend a little more time with family instead of having to spend time in the line at the grocery store,” said Robert Bailey, regional vice president of TouchPoint Support Services, a food service provider that works with Ascension Seton.
On KXAN News Today, Bailey says the markets also add a level of safety for employees.
