Inpatient Meals

Inpatient Meals Food Services provides room service on-demand to inpatients every day, from 7 am to 8 pm. Our extensive menu is provided to patients in their rooms.

Dial 4-FOOD from any patient phone or (617) 732-7120 for an external phone, and the meal will be delivered within 1 hour. For patients unable to place their own order, assistance will be provided. All menu items are available all day.

For patients on specially prescribed diets, highly trained operators will help patients adjust their menu selections to fit within any restrictions. Any recommended modifications will be discussed with the patient. We are also happy to assist in meeting dietary requirements for patients with kosher, vegetarian, or gluten-free diets, and patients who have food allergies.

If you have any questions about your food, the menu selection process or your special diet, please call (617) 732-7120 while in the hospital. Please note, any patient food that is not prepared by our Food Services department must be cleared with the patient’s nurse.
