In-house Dining
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.
Dining options for guests
We offer a variety of dining options at the hospital, so you can stay close to your loved one.
