    On occasion, your meal may be delayed if you are scheduled for a special test or treatment. Whenever possible, you will be served after your examination or test.

    Your family members or friends may wish to dine with you at bedside. For this reason, the daily menu is offered to you at $3.50 for a full meal. If you would rather purchase select items, your meal price will be adjusted to order. Please check with your nurse to order guest meals.
