There are also some places with contracts in place from Coca-Cola Co. or PepsiCo that don't sell Coke or Pepsi. Both companies make and bottle a lot of other beverages including iced tea, water, even milk.

Coca-Cola owns Odwalla, Honest Tea, Dasani, Fairlife (milk), Smart Water, Vitamin Water, and Zico Coconut water, as well as several juice brands like Minute Maid and Simply Orange.

PepsiCo owns Aquafina, Tropicana, Naked, Bubly, Propel, Izze, One (coconut water).

Obviously, the majority of what both these companies make and sell are full of added sugar. But it's possible for them to supply a range of drinks including many with lower sugar, no sugar or artificial sweeteners. The contracts can specify that they want certain things supplied. The issue isn't that the hospitals have a contract with a beverage supplier--it's whether the hospital is ensuring that they're not just supplying sugar and more sugar.
