MGH Revere gets a taste of the world

Employees from the MGH Revere HealthCare Center had the opportunity to sample foods, desserts and beverages from more than 25 cultures at the Multicultural Food Festival held April 7 at the health center. The types of food and beverages included Cambodian, Irish, Moroccan, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, Jewish, French and many others, with employees contributing all the international treats. The event also featured a lecture by Widad Ayad, an Arabic interpreter at MGH Revere, about Egyptian civilization from ancient times up to the present. The newly formed Diversity Committee at MGH Revere sponsored the event.
