Meals and Snacks

Our goal is to serve the most appetizing meals possible while fulfilling your specific dietary needs as directed by your physician. If you are on a regular diet, you may choose food for the following day from the menu selection. A nutrition assistant is located on your patient unit and will be glad to help you understand the menu. When your physician prescribes a special diet, you may select meals within your dietary restrictions. Feel free to speak with one of our registered dieticians by calling 703-504-3044.

We invite you to order a guest tray for visitors at a nominal cost. Just notify your nurse as early as possible.
