GOLETA,
Calif., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kate Farms
announced today that it will be honored during Premier, Inc.'s
annual supplier Innovation Celebration at the 2024 Breakthroughs
Conference and Exhibition. The Innovation Celebration recognizes
groundbreaking healthcare technologies that have been launched
throughout the year and the ways these products are helping to
improve the health of communities.
Kate Farms launched a line of market-disrupting pediatric
blended meals that save time, resources, and blended food, while
creating a sense of normalcy and convenience for patients in a
growing segment. Kate Farms Pediatric Blended meals easily
connect to certain tube feeding adapters like the Bolink Small Cap,
making mealtime more manageable in the healthcare setting, at home,
at school, or while traveling.
The resealable cap saves product for later use, creates less
mess, and helps mitigate bacterial contamination. The blends
provide high-quality nutrition that consistently flows smoothly
through feeding tubes with little to no manipulation. They are made
without common allergens, and do not contain any artificial
sweeteners, flavors, colors, or preservatives.
"Pediatric Blended Meals is a significant addition to our
portfolio," says Catherine Hayden,
RDN, MBA, Chief Marketing Officer. "We are honored to be recognized
at Premier, Inc.'s Supplier Innovation Celebration. This product
combines advancements in product design, packaging, and delivery
with our unwavering commitment to quality, plant-based ingredients,
a value we've upheld since day one."
Premier's Innovation Celebration is entering its 13th
year of recognizing and honoring supplier product innovations. With
roughly 100 nominations annually, clinicians, physicians and supply
chain experts nationally evaluate these technologies and services
for their merit.
"Premier proudly acknowledges Kate Farms' outstanding commitment
to advancing healthcare," said Bruce
Radcliff, Senior Vice President, Supply Chain at Premier.
"Their innovative products and services, recognized at our 2024
Innovation Celebration, reflect our shared mission to drive
cost-efficiency, operational excellence and improved patient
outcomes. We applaud Kate Farms for their invaluable contributions
to healthcare."
Kate Farms will be formally recognized on July 23, 2024, at Premier's annual Breakthroughs
Conference and Exhibition. Premier, Inc. is a leading

About Kate Farms
Kate Farms was founded when a little girl named Kate was failing
to thrive because she couldn't tolerate any of the available tube
feeding formulas. Her determined parents, Richard and Michelle, had
the transformative idea to develop a formula using high-quality,
organic, and plant-based ingredients without the common allergens
and ingredients often found in traditional formulas. Today, Kate is
thriving and Kate Farms is now the #1 recommended plant-based
brand.*
Kate Farms offers medical formulas for children and adults to be
used as sole-source or supplemental nutrition for oral and tube
feeding. They are available nationally and eligible for insurance
coverage with Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance. Kate Farms
formulas are made with organic pea protein, fiber, and
phytonutrients, and made without the top nine common allergens or
artificial colors or flavors. Kate Farms can be accessed in more
than 1,000 US hospitals. For more information on our full product
