'Call to Order’ room service available at Ontario hospitals

Program first introduced in 2011 before being expanded to other facilities

The Call to Order system allows patients to call any time between the hours of 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and their selections will be delivered to their room at pre-set breakfast, lunch and dinner meal times.
