Holy Cross Hospital in Fort Lauderdale has introduced At Your Request – Room Service Dining® by Sodexo, which allows patients to order a variety of freshly prepared meals from an extensive menu and have them delivered to their rooms within 45 minutes of ordering.

 

“By ordering what patients feel like eating when they feel like eating it, they eat more, which improves their nutritional intake and supports the healing process,” said Ann Thomas, Sodexo’s general manager at Holy Cross Hospital. “Similarly, since meals are prepared only after an order has been received, they are always fresh, tasty and have high nutritional value. Experience has proven that the At Your Request – Room Service Dining® by Sodexo program enhances the patients’ overall experience and satisfaction.”

 

Patients may order their own selections starting with the first meal after admission. Skilled operators are available to guide patients through their choices and confirm that the meals comply with any physician prescribed diet.

 

Examples of menu items that may be ordered under the new program include: classic meatloaf, Tuscan herb salmon, and a popular Asian stir fry.
