The Department of Nutritional Services prepares meals in accordance with various dietary requirements, i.e. regular, sodium controlled, soft-bland, fat-controlled and calorie-controlled. Each diet is planned to meet specific medical needs or restrictions. Menus distributed to patients offer only those food selections permitted under the type of diet ordered by their physician. Kosher food is available upon request. The hospital's Nutritional Services Department also prepares "Meals on Wheels," the daily hot and cold meal service delivered by volunteers to shut-in's and the elderly. Registered Dietitians are on staff and available for dietary counseling on an inpatient as well as outpatient basis.
