Diet and Good Nutrition
Good nutrition is key to good health, and it's an important part of your treatment. Your physician may order either a regular diet or a special diet suited to your needs or medical condition.
Each day you'll be given a menu with your breakfast tray to fill out for the following day's meals. A food service representative will be in by 10 a.m. to collect your menu selections. Remember that the food choices you make today will be served to you tomorrow. If you have special requests due to cultural, religious or personal preferences, such as snacks, kosher meals, vegetarian meals or guest trays, simply ask the food service representative to make arrangements for you.
Breakfast is served from 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m. Lunch is 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Dinner starts at 4:45 p.m. and ends at 6 p.m. If you are out of your room for a procedure or test when meals are served, ask your nurse if you are allowed to eat. The nurse will call for the meal to be delivered to you.
