Patient Food Service
Patients receive a selective menu from which to make choices. If a patient has just had a diet change ordered by the physician, a non-selective meal will be served, and a selective menu will be offered the following day. In some special circumstances due to dietary restrictions, a non-selective menu will be served during the course of the patient’s hospital stay, with attention to likes and dislikes.

Should you have any question about your diet, please call our Dietitian at (956) 698-1507. If you have any questions concerning the menu, please call (956) 698-1508.
