Patient Meals
University Hospitals St. John Medical Center offers room service to our patients, providing an excellent dining experience.
Room service menus are located in patient rooms. Patients and visitors are able to order from a wide variety of food choices* at times that are convenient for them. The room service representative will assist patients with menu selections, based on nutrition orders the physician has written. Once patients and/or family members have made menu selections, the room service representative will pick up your menu.
We ask that visitors check with the nursing staff before bringing outside food into patient rooms. UH St. John Medical Center is not responsible for food brought in from outside.
*Menu items may be limited for those on a special or restricted diet.
