Our team of Registered Dietitians works closely with your doctors, nurses and other members of your healthcare team to provide nutrition
care and education. The Food and Nutrition Services Staff provides you with attractive, nutritious meals of high quality. Meals are prepared taking into consideration the special dietary restrictions you may have due to your physical or medical condition.
In the event you would like food not found on our menu, our Dietetic Technicians can assist you in selecting meal items which you will enjoy within the dietary restrictions set by your doctor and healthcare team.
