Nutrition Services knows the food you eat helps your body heal. For patients, food can be nurturing and restorative, especially when you’re experiencing discomfort and anxiety. Our goal is to provide you with well-balanced meals and nutrition information.

Your meal service is initiated by a diet order prescribed by your physician. Our registered dietitians work closely with your medical staff to formulate, implement, and support nutritional progress to enhance medical treatment.

Nutrition Services visit most patients twice a day to take the menu selections for the next meal(s).  Each patient room includes a patient information packet along with a menu. Nutrition Services offers a wide variety of menu items, in addition to daily lunch and dinner specials.

Unless your physician’s orders differ, patients receive three meals per day at approximately the following times:

For questions about your meals, diet order, or nutrition information, contact our Diet Office at 301-790-8085 any day between 6:00 am and 6:30 pm.
