Originally constructed in 1973, the kitchen has undergone a remarkable transformation and is now equipped to serve over 800 patient meals daily. With a focus on delivering high-quality, inclusive and personalized meals, the new kitchen boasts state-of-the-art equipment and is designed to adapt and expand with the hospital’s growth.
“With the inauguration of this modern kitchen, our goal is to emphasize wellness by providing healthy, wholesome, and nutritious meals to our patients. I am excited to witness how the renovation will elevate our patients’ experience during mealtime and contribute to their overall satisfaction with our hospital,” says Jessica Godin, Manager, Patient Food Services at Mount Sinai Hospital.
