52 Erie County Medical Center 1978-Present Good food and healthy fun on Fridays. The Farmers’ Market at Grider debuted in 2010 on Fridays directly across the street from the medical center. It has now become an institution for the Delavan-Grider community as well as ECMC staff eager to sample the fresh fruits and vegetables for sale. There are also organic foods, fresh baked goods, flowers, and freshly prepared foods available for lunchtime shoppers. The Market provides a neighborhood-based event that offers an avenue to healthy living and enhances the well-being of the community. A variety of food trucks add another attraction to visitors at lunch hour. Cooking lessons, low-impact workouts, and health and wellness information are all featured at the Farmers’ Market on Fridays from June to October. Helping the environment. In 2011, ECMC was the first hospital in Buffalo to implement a pharmaceutical waste compliance program, and the medical center is continuing its sustainable solutions for managing hospital waste. That includes a strong focus on preventing carbon emissions by keeping plastic and cardboard out of landfills and decreasing regulated medical and municipal waste volumes. ECMC is decreasing the total impact on the environment and helping to improve air quality, public health, and overall safety. This initiative is designed to reduce risk, increase compliance, and maximize operational and financial efficiencies. The Farmer’s Market at Grider.
