Food and Nutritional Services

Dietary Services

Wholesome, nourishing and well-balanced meals are an important part of your treatment and recovery. Mary Rutan Hospital makes every effort to provide nutri¬tious meals that are prepared according to your doctor’s orders.

You will be visited each morning by a member of our Food and Nutrition team who will take your order from our breakfast cart. Breakfast is served typically between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m.

Please take a moment to look over our patient Room Service Guest Menu. Room Service is open from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and may be accessed by dialing ext. 3663 on your telephone. A Food and Nutrition team member will receive your phone call and take your order.

If you are on a special diet prescribed by your doctor, you will be assisted when ordering from the Room Service menu by a member of the Food and Nutrition team. If you have additional questions about your diet restrictions, please ask a member of the Food and Nutrition team for assistance. They may contact a mem¬ber of the Clinical Nutrition team to assist you further.

If a family member or friend would like to eat in your room, they may go to the cafeteria, buy a meal and bring it back to your room. If meal delivery to your room would be preferred they may also order from the Room Service menu at a cost of $5.00 per meal.
