Food is part of Ashley’s approach to holistic care
Nutrition is fundamental to your health and recovery. Our staff dietician, professionally-trained chefs and kitchen staff provide a recovery-focused menu that strikes a balance between health and comfort. Patient meals incorporate lean proteins in varied cuisine styles and seasonal dishes made with farm-fresh, local ingredients. We can also tailor individual options based on medical needs or dietary requirements as needed. These options are personalized to provide optimal recovery support. Special diets might include:
- Gluten-free
- Vegetarian
- Vegan
- Halal
- Kosher
- Antioxidant-rich
- Mediterranean
- Low carb/moderate protein
- Emphasis on Omega 3s
- Plant-based
- Allergy-compliant
