Services

At Your Request-Room Service Dining

Vail Health Hospital features At Your Request-Room Service Dining®, a complimentary meal and delivery service for patients. Food can be ordered any time between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM and will be delivered within 45 minutes directly to the patient's room. A full menu is available in each in-patient room, and special meals are prepared for those with restricted diets. Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) are available for questions or counseling regarding patients' dietary needs. To learn more, call (970) 479-5058.

Outpatient Nutrition Consults

While research continues to show that a nutritious diet can be the best medicine for reducing the risk of disease, there are hundreds of health claims, which can be confusing and overwhelming. RDN's work one-on-one with patients to develop personal eating plans for specific nutritional needs and lifestyles. Our RDNs provide counseling for many conditions, including cancer, diabetes and eating disorders, cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal problems, as well as for personal wellness, prenatal and pediatric care, sports nutrition and weight management. Insurance and billing information is available upon request, and self-referral and self-pay are welcome. To schedule an appointment with one of our RDNs call (970) 479-5058.
