ANN ARBOR, MI - A trip to the hospital usually means
either you or someone you know is in poor health and
needs immediate medical attention. And when it's time
to go home, most likely, your doctor will give you a
list of do's and don'ts, including eat a healthy diet
and make sure to exercise. So, when you see your
favorite fast food restaurant inside the hospital that
just told you to eat healthy, you may be getting a
mixed message - a message it appears many of the
nation's top health institutions are sending.

In a research letter published in the June 12 issue of
the Journal of the American Medical Association,
researchers at the University of Michigan Health
System and Ann Arbor VA Medical Center found 38
percent of the nation's top health institutions had
regional or national fast food franchises on their
main medical campuses. It's a statistic that is
alarming to the authors of the letter.
