Nutrition Services



The purpose of the SMDH dietary department is to provide the highest quality foods from standardized recipes that meet the nutritional needs of each patient and resident. We strive to make our meals "Just Like at Home" to allow our patrons of the hospital feel comfortable with their stay. Each menu gives a variety of nourishing foods to choose from in a 15-day cycle, which allows patients and residents to get away from the monotony of having the same foods day after day.
