California hospital adopts new trends in hospital food

Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton offering fresh and healthy choices and cooked-to-order meals


Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton, Calif., adopting the newest trends in hospital food, offering fresh and healthy choices and cooked-to-order meals, according to an article on the San Luis Obisco Tribune website.

“For too many years we set an expectation of bland, poorly tasting hospital food and then we met people’s expectations,” said Ron Yukelson, Twin Cities’ associate administrator for business development. “But there’s really been an evolution in the industry, and we’re very serious about the quality of our food here.”

Patient meals and cafeteria service are just part of the duties of Twin Cities’ Food and Nutrition Services (which are contracted out to Morrison Healthcare, a national company specializing in serving hospitals and health-care systems). 

Other duties include catering special events for outside groups at the hospital, as well as orchestrating celebration meals for new moms and their significant others.
