Nutrition & Food Services
Your meals are important to you and to us. If you are on a diet that allows you to select your own food while in the hospital, you may choose your menu for each meal from a variety of foods. If, for medical reasons, you are on a special diet, you will be given food choices that meet specific dietary guidelines set by your doctor. For most of our patients, a host or hostess from Nutrition & Food Services will visit your room before each meal to tell you about our daily specials and other options and take your order. Some patients will receive menus to complete before each meal. Nutrition education is available for patients with special needs. The department provides professional consultation by clinical dietitians who work with patients, doctors, nurses, and other patient care team members to provide education and nutritional information. Patients will receive meals at the following times:
| Breakfast | 6:30 a.m. - 8:30 a.m. |
| Lunch | 11:00 a.m. - 1 p.m. |
| Dinner | 4:15 p.m. - 6 p.m. |
The department also provides meals and snacks for staff, visitors and students. If you have any questions, or would like to speak with someone about food services, call (919) 966-4750.
