Nutrition Services

ECRMC Nutrition Services

Our Nutrition Services department oversees food production for our 161-bed hospital and staff of over 900. The Nutrition Services Department also serves visitors and caters special hospital and community events during the year.

Nutrition plays an important role in your treatment and recovery. Our registered dietitians work closely with physicians to provide for all patients’ nutritional care during their stay. Dietitians follow the nutritional status of patients, oversee therapeutic diets, and provide nutrition education.

Registered Dietitians

ECRMC dietitians, experts in nutritional support, assess the nutritional status of our patients to identify those who are at nutritional risk. They develop nutritional care plans with physicians. Dietitians will visit patients during meal rounds to ensure that patients are eating well. Before discharge, a dietitian will educate patients and families about special diets prescribed by their physicians. Registered dietitians hold bachelor’s degrees in nutrition and national board certification.

Room Service

ECRMC offers hotel-style room service to their patients, with fresh meals cooked and delivered to patient rooms in 45 minutes. We use the CBORD system to ensure all meal orders are compliant with each patient’s diet order as prescribed by their doctor. Menus also account for any food allergies patients might have. Patients will call in orders to a trained representative who will guide them through the ordering process and help them choose from alternative selections if their initial choices do not comply with their diet order.

Cafeteria

The ECRMC cafeteria provides service and a dining room for visitors and employees. It is open 7 days a week for dining and is located on the second floor of the hospital's Ancillary Service Building. Visitors and employees can choose hot entrées, salads, pizza, freshly made delicious sandwiches and more.

The cafeteria is also now home to the new We Proudly Serve Starbucks ECRMC Café, where you can find a wide variety of hot and cold specialty beverages.
