Nutritional Services
Wholesome, nourishing and well-balanced meals are an important part of your treatment and recovery. Athens Regional Medical Center makes every effort to provide nutritious menu selections that are prepared according to your doctor's orders.

Patients are served breakfast between 7 and 8:30 a.m., lunch between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., and dinner between 4:30 and 6 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 test or examination.

Depending on the time of your admission, meal selections may be made for you by our staff. However, you will make your own selections as soon as possible from a selected menu. If you are on a special diet prescribed by your doctor, you will receive menus tailored to your specific needs. These foods may look and taste different than foods you eat at home. Every effort will be made to meet your expectations and nutritional needs. If you have special requests or concerns, please call our department at 3063.

Note: Your physician may order a special diet as part of your treatment plan. In this situation, ordering outside food may be hazardous to your health. You are encouraged not to do this. Talk with your nurse if you have questions.
