Meeting your nutritional needs

When you arrive at the hospital, our dietician will perform a nutritional assessment. Your doctor will make sure that your diet is aligned with your medical needs.

If food restrictions or special diets aren’t a concern, you can order meals off a menu at certain times of the day.

We’re happy to accommodate ethnic, religious, or other special dietary restrictions.
