Dietary Services
Remember how food used to be served in hospitals? Trays were brought to patients at set times – often not what they wanted and served whether or not they were hungry. Order what you want, when you want it. If you are on a modified or restricted diet, our Room Service Operator will help you with your selection.
Place your order by dialing ext. 5656 anytime between 6:15 a.m.-8:15 p.m. A room service operator will take your order, and within 45 minutes your food will be delivered right to your room.
If a family member or friend wants to eat in your room with you, he or she is welcome to bring food from home or to purchase a meal from the cafeteria or elsewhere and bring it back to your room. We also understand how important friends and family are in the healing process. We are excited to offer Room Service Dining to your guests. The Room Service Operator can assist you or your guests with pricing and ordering information on guest trays for visitors and family.
Suggested service times:
Breakfast: 7-9:30 a.m.
Lunch: 11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Dinner: 4 p.m.-7 p.m.

The hospital maintains a staff of registered dietitians to provide medical nutrition therapy during your hospital stay. If you have questions about your nutritional needs, please call ext. 2678.

Most fish and seafood: must be gutted and gilled, with or without heads
Seal meat and fat
Plants and berries: whole, fresh or frozen
All donated items that are received will be used in their entirety. Any leftover, trim or items deemed “unservable” will be distributed to organizations that will utilize them in animal consumption, and waste will go to local organizations that will use it (i.e. Alaska Zoo, Raptor Rehabilitation,etc.)
