"Dining on Call" Room Service for patients allows you to order from a wide variety of choices, and have your meals delivered anytime you would like between 7:00 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Restrictions may apply based on a diet prescribed by your physician.
Good, nutritious meals delivered at the right time are an important part of a patient's stay. Patients order their meals through our "Dining on Call" program. This program offers greater variety and the option to order any time during operating hours. Room service associates can view patients' dietary restrictions to help them make choices appropriate for their diet. Patients can order their meals in advance and specify a delivery time. Friends and family members can order on behalf of the patient from any location.
