Patient Meals
The clinical nutrition staff at UH Ahuja Medical Center take pride in offering our patients fresh, delicious food choices with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients, healthy cooking methods and low-fat dessert choices. Kosher and gluten-free options are available.
Our At-Your-Request Room Service Program allows each patient to choose their own mealtimes and food* from our menu. Orders can be placed between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Meals are typically delivered in 35 minutes or less. Our overnight menu accommodates dining needs between 8 p.m. and 7 a.m.
Guests are invited to dine with the patient using our room service menu. Simply purchase a guest-tray from any cashier and save the receipt. Order your meal from the patient’s room and provide the receipt when the meal is delivered.
*Menu items may be limited for those on a special or restricted diet.
Patient Advocacy Program
One way we work to ensure a positive hospital experience is through our dynamic and responsive patient advocacy program. Experts in patient advocacy are on-call to answer questions, address concerns, expedite hospital services and provide emotional support. A patient relations coordinator will visit each new patient within 24 hours of admission.
In addition, patient care advocates are available to help patients resolve any issues that may arise during hospitalization. These may include:
- Helping patients communicate with doctors and other caregivers.
- Explaining policies and procedures.
- Advocating for patient safety.
- Processing lost item reports.
- Providing general information about the hospital and the local community.
We encourage patients to first communicate directly with their nurse, doctor or other care provider. However, when a patient or family member prefers to discuss concerns with a third party, the patient care advocates are on-call.
