Norton Children's Hospital in Louisville, Ky., is replacing McDonald's with Au Bon Pain to promote patient health, according to an article on the Courier-Journal website.
McDonald's had been in the healthcare facility for 30 years. Au Bon Pain was selected for "healthy options," according to a hospital statement.
In severing ties with McDonald's, Norton is the 12th hospital nationwide to ban fast food, according to Corporate Accountability International, a nonprofit based in Boston.
This fall, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine's "Nix The Nuggets" billboard advertising campaign around Louisville's downtown medical complex criticized McDonald's continued presence at the hospital.
