Quality Nutrition

Patient meals at UAMS follow guidelines from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Regulations for good patient nutrition include:

• Eliminate fried foods
• Offer fruit instead of sugary desserts
• Use whole grain products when possible
• Serve sugar-free beverages, including juices
• Review patient menus to reduce sugar content when clinically appropriate

For patients with special nutrition needs, we also serve healthy meals that support their conditions and recovery.

Guest Meals

Friends and family can also get meals in patient rooms from 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day. Order Chef’s Choice meals for $6 each by calling 501-686-6154.
