Nutrition
& Food Services
Patient Food Service
Eating well is an important part of recovery. Nutritious meals are provided to inpatients using “hostess-style” service. Patients are asked about their food choice immediately prior to meal service. Patients are given a choice of a complete hot meal or can substitute a cold item for the main course. Your physician may order a special diet while you are in the hospital which may limit some of your food or beverage options.
