Background
While caffeine is widely consumed, it can have adverse effects on recovery, particularly for individuals with heart conditions, anxiety, insomnia, or other health concerns that may be aggravated by stimulants.
Serving decaffeinated options as the default ensures a safer, more inclusive approach to patient care without compromising on taste or comfort.
This small but meaningful change could contribute to better rest, faster recovery, and improved health outcomes for patients across the country.
