    In this episode of Health on the Plains , Wyatt Beckman sits down with Chef Steve Smith, the innovative culinary mind behind a fresh approach to food and healing at Smith County Memorial Hospital, in Kansas.

From a home meal delivery program to welcoming community members into the hospital’s on-site restaurant, Chef Steve has built a culinary ecosystem that nourishes the entire county.

    Discover how this small rural hospital is leading big change, and why Chef Steve hopes this model of whole-person, community-centered nutrition can be replicated across Kansas and beyond.
