At Metro Medical Dining Services, we believe that healthy eating is essential for the well-being and recovery of patients and the energy healthcare workers need to perform at their best. That’s why we’re committed to providing nutritious, balanced meals that fuel the body and mind every day. Our nutrition team works tirelessly to create meals that are both delicious and packed with essential nutrients. Here’s how we’re promoting healthy eating habits and providing wholesome options across the Metro Medical facility!
Fresh, Wholesome Ingredients: A Priority in Every Meal
Our commitment to quality begins with the ingredients. Metro Medical Dining Services ensures every meal is crafted using fresh, wholesome ingredients, sourced locally whenever possible. By partnering with local farms and suppliers, we not only provide meals rich in vitamins and minerals but also support our surrounding community. Our menus feature seasonal fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and plant-based options, all carefully selected to meet the nutritional needs of patients and staff.
We limit processed foods and high-sugar items to promote balanced eating, prioritizing nutrient-dense and minimally processed options. These mindful ingredient choices are designed to support recovery and cultivate lifelong healthy eating habits.
Diverse Menu Options: Meeting Unique Dietary Needs
At Metro Medical Dining Services, we understand that each patient and healthcare worker has unique tastes and dietary needs. Our diverse menu is designed to offer something for everyone, including:
- Daily Salad Bars: Featuring a colorful array of fresh veggies, leafy greens, and protein-rich toppings like grilled chicken, beans, and quinoa. Customize salads to meet personal preferences and dietary requirements.
- Whole-Grain Alternatives: From brown rice to whole-grain bread and pasta, we provide fiber-rich options that support digestion and offer long-lasting energy.
- Plant-Based and Vegetarian Meals:
With a growing interest in plant-based diets, we offer flavorful vegetarian meals daily. These are crafted with hearty ingredients like beans, tofu, lentils, and vegetables to ensure balanced nutrition.
- Nutritious Snacks:
Alongside main meals, patients and staff can choose from fresh fruit, sliced veggies, and wholesome snack options to stay fueled throughout the day.
Educating on Healthy Choices
At Metro Medical Dining Services, we believe education is as vital as the meals we serve. That’s why our Nutrition Services team provides resources to help patients and staff make informed food choices. From workshops on "Building a Balanced Plate" to tips on "Reading Nutrition Labels," we empower individuals to take charge of their dietary health.
Our menus are also designed for clarity, with labels such as "low-sodium," "whole-grain," and "vegetarian" to help diners select meals that align with their dietary preferences and health goals.
At Metro Medical Dining Services, we are proud to provide high-quality, nutritious dining options that promote health, recovery, and vitality for everyone in the Metro Medical facility.
