Food and Nutrition Services
Patient Meals
Wholesome, nourishing and well-balanced meals are an important part of your treatment and recovery. If you are receiving solid food, a member of our nutrition services staff will visit you to discuss your meal selections. If you are on a special diet prescribed by your doctor, you will receive menus tailored to your specific needs. Meals are served to inpatients at approximately 8:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Occasionally your meal may be delayed if you are scheduled for a special test or treatment. Whenever possible, you will be served after your test or treatment.

Dietitian
The hospital employs a registered dietitian and a registered dietetic technician to meet your dietary needs during your stay. If you have questions about your meals or diet, please call extension 6247.

Following procedures in the Outpatient Center, patients are offered a snack. If your procedure requires an extended stay, you will be offered a meal.
