Being sick, worried, or uncomfortable can put a damper on one’s appetite. All meals at OakLeaf are individually prepared with the patient’s personal tastes, dietary needs and special requirements taken into consideration. At OakLeaf Surgical Hospital the patient decides when and what they would like to eat. Patients select from a Room Service menu that offers an array of entrees along with fresh fruits, vegetables, salads and bakery. Eating nutritiously contributes to a speedy recovery. Eating foods that are pleasing to the palate can boost the spirit as well.
Friends and family may order from the menu and eat with the patient, or step down the hall to The Bistro. And, it’s not your imagination if you smell the aroma of fresh baked cookies, emerging from the oven each afternoon and served with a smile by the chef in charge.
