In-Room Dining

Eating a balanced and nutritional diet is an important part of everyday life but even more so when recovering from an illness or injury in the hospital. Shelby Memorial Hospital’s dietary department provides three nutritious meals to patients daily and a variety of snacks and beverages.

The meals we provide not only meet strict dietary standards but also are delicious, making your hospital stay feel more like home. Working with your physician, we will accommodate any dietary restrictions and allergies. The SMH dietary department has dedicated staff members and our dietary manager and registered dietician are focused on ensuring you are satisfied with your meals during your road to recovery.

If you have a need for a guest tray in your room to accommodate a visitor, just let us know and we will be happy to help.

Visitors can also enjoy a warm and satisfying meal in the SMH Café which is located on the lower level of the main hospital building.
