Dietary Services
At Meeker Memorial our Dietary and Nutrition Services team is staffed with a registered dietician and food service professional committed to provide our patients healthy meals. With few exceptions, patients have the freedom to order anytime between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. from our room-service menu. A nurse or aide can assist you with menu choices to make sure that the diet ordered by your physician or dietitian, along with any diet restrictions, are followed.
