Mealtimes & Dining Options
Patient Mealtimes
 Wholesome, nourishing and well-balanced meals are an important part of treatment and recovery. Holland Hospital’s Food & Nutrition Services provides nutritious meals that fulfill patients' diets as prescribed by their doctor and monitored by a Registered Dietitian.
During their hospital stay, a Food and Nutrition Services staff member visits patients daily to take menu orders. Each day there is a variety of main entrees, side dishes, snacks and beverages to choose from. If a doctor has ordered a special diet or if patients have specific preferences, the staff will prepare accordingly.
On most hospital units, meals are served according to the following schedule:
Breakfast: |
7:05 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. |
Lunch: |
11:45 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. |
Dinner: |
4:45 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. |
Family members and friends are often welcome to join patients at mealtime; they can bring meal trays from The Café or the Coffee Cove to the patient's room. Ask the patient's nurse if unsure.
If a patient wishes to discuss any dietary needs or options, a Registered Dietitian is available to meet with him or her. Call ext. 3148 (394-3148).
