Food and Nutrition

Patient Meals

Hundreds of meals are prepared daily at Mercy Hospital and each patient tray receives special care and attention. Nourishing and well-balanced meals are an important part of your treatment and recovery. A Registered Dietition works closely with your physician to provide you with individualized nutritional care. You will receive a meal based on your physician’s order. Please alert your caregivers to any allergies or food intolerances that you may have.

Should a special diet be prescribed as part of your post-hospital treatment, a registered dietition or diet technician may provide instructions so you can properly manage your nutritional needs at home. Outpatient nutrition counseling is also available for individualized nutrition care.

Meals are served at the following times:

• Breakfast: 7:10 - 9:30 a.m.
• Lunch: 11:10 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
• Dinner: 4:10 - 6:30 p.m.
