Alison Negrin Serves Up Health at John Muir Medical Center
Alison Negrin serves healthy organic food at local hospital.
With a total of 640 beds spread over three Contra Costa campuses, John Muir Medical Center (JMMC) does not have quite the power for modeling change that Kaiser has, but its executive chef, Alison Negrin, has moved a small mountain of her own in re-envisioning her hospital’s food program. Her work, like Maring’s, has had some larger repercussions.

Trained at the Culinary Academy in San Francisco in the early 1980s, Negrin found a niche for herself in East Bay restaurants known for serving healthy, organic foods. She worked at Poulet and Chez Panisse and also helped open Bridges in Danville. It was in 2002, after going back to school full-time at Bauman College, a local culinary arts college with a holistic nutrition focus, that she took the job at JMMC.
