Nutrition and obesity are two of the biggest issues being debated in the media today and they will continue to be a major area of concern in the years to come. With Chartwells' Balanced Choices program as the foundation, its new website is a one stop shop to learn about all Compass Group nutrition and wellness initiatives. 

Balanced Choices
Balanced Choices is Chartwells' comprehensive approach to wellness. A team of our registered dietitians performed an exhaustive analysis on what other state agencies, school districts, and industry professionals are doing. The result is a branding concept of "better for you" snacks, beverages, and meals that meet specific nutritional criteria, easily identified with signage, labels, and markers.
