The Food and Nutrition Services Department is committed to providing you with the highest quality service during your stay at Rush. A professional culinary team directed by our executive chef prepares your food. We will provide you with a variety of menu choices that will meet your nutritional needs and diet as ordered by your physician. Our floor hospitality staff is trained to assist you with your menu and make changes based on your individual needs. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your meal experience more pleasant.

 Menu 

Each day at breakfast, you will receive a menu designed to meet the dietary modifications ordered by your physician. Menu substitutions are available. If you desire or require other food options please let your hospitality personnel know. We will be happy to provide you with a menu substitution list.

Special menus also are available to meet ethnic, religious, or special health needs. Ask your hospitality personnel to provide you with these menus.

 Snacks

Snacks between meals are available at 10 a.m., 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. Please let your nurse or hospitality personnel know if you would like a snack. An evening snack cart also circulates on most of the medical and surgical floors.

 Nutrition Counseling

We provide basic information about the diet your physician has ordered for you. If you would like additional nutrition information please let your nurse or hospitality personnel know so that we can arrange a diet instruction.

 Special Dietary Needs 

Please consult the dietitian so we can ensure that those needs are met. We are here to serve you. Please call us at ext. 2-5200 if you need anything.
