Food and Nutrition
Wholesome, nourishing and well-balanced
meals are an important part of your treatment
and recovery. Pardee 
Hospital strives to provide
nutritious meals that are prepared according to your
doctor's orders. Patients are served breakfast between
7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m., lunch between 11:00 a.m.
and 1:00 p.m., and dinner between 4:00 p.m. and
6:00 p.m. Occasionally 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 breakfast tray will include a menu from which you can order your meals for the next day. Please mark your menu so it will be ready for pickup. If you have difficulty making menu selections, please ask for help. Dietary staff (extension 1140) is available to answer questions about your diet or menu selections. When your doctor prescribes a special diet (low salt, low fat, etc.), you will receive menus that follow the doctor's order. Your family members or other guests may purchase meals in the hospital cafeteria or snack shop. If you prefer, ask your nurse how to arrange for a guest tray to be sent to your room.
Gourmet Meals
For patients or visitors who would prefer an upscale menu, we offer a “Special Selection” menu at an individual separate charge. Please contact our nutrition staff at (828) 696-1140 for additional information.
