Dietary Services
Food plays an important role in your child's recovery. Your child's physician has prescribed a diet for him/her that complements their total treatment plan. Your child's menu may exclude certain items in accordance with the restrictions of his/her diet.
Please request a visit from our registered dietitian if you or your child has questions about diet or any nutritional concerns. If you have any requests regarding your child's meals, ask your child's nurse to contact the Dietary Department.
Guest Meals
Guest trays may be ordered for a nominal fee. For more information, please have your nurse contact the Food Services Department.
