Nutrition Services

Wholesome, nourishing and well-balanced meals are an important factor in your treatment and recovery. Providence Orthopaedic & Neuro Spine Institute makes every effort to provide nutritious meals that are prepared according to your doctor's orders. Your breakfast tray will include a menu from which you can order your meals. Please do not leave your menu on your breakfast tray. If your physician orders a diet consultation, a registered dietitian will be available to talk with you.

Proper nutrition is an important factor in your recovery. You should not eat any food brought to you unless your physician or nurse gives you permission. If you have any questions about your meals or diet, ask your nurse. Guest trays are provided at a nominal charge. Orders for guest trays should be placed at the nursing station at least two hours prior to the next meal. Gourmet meals are also available for you and your visitors at an additional charge.

Occasionally your meal may be delayed if you are scheduled for a special test or treatment. Your meal will be served after your examination or test or you may request a snack by notifying your nurse.
