Food for Patient meals and snacks is prepared fresh by certified
cooks and trained staff, using the cook/chill method. Meals
are based on a non-selective menu cycle. Food Service Supervisors
and a Dietitian manage the Food Service operation to ensure
food is of quality, nutritious and safe, and that it complies
with special diet prescriptions. If you have food preferences
that comply to your diet, they can be relayed to your primary
care provider/nurse, or to a Nutrition and Food Services staff
delivering or picking up your trays. Inform your nurse immediately
if you have food allergies. If you are on a special diet that
your physician has ordered, your meals and snacks will be
adjusted to comply with the diet.

The
Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre has partnered
with Sodexho to promote the “Your Health Your
Way” (YHYW) Program. YHYW is Sodexho’s
unique wellness program that caters to making healthy eating
simple and delicious!
The program has been designed by leading professional dietitians
and executive chefs who have combined the most reputable nutrition
guidelines with a collection of delicious and satisfying menu
offerings.
Top quality ingredients and cooking methods bring out the
most flavour and nutrients. |
The YHYW items share 3 main essential characteristics. They
all taste great. They are power packed with essential nutrients
with a combination of lean proteins, whole grains, vegetables,
fruits and unsaturated fats. They all meet the Nutrition Recommendations
for Canadians by following these YHYW criteria:
- Less than 30% calories from fat
- No more than 3 grams of saturated fat
- Less than 100 mg of cholesterol
- Less than 850 mg of Sodium
- Less than 600 calories and
- At least 3 grams of fibre
Each cafeteria station including the Grill, To Go station,
Salad Bar and Deli Bar are “Health Certified”,
meaning that each station offers at least one YHYW menu item
each day.
How do you know which items are YHYW items? Just check out
the menu in the cafeteria. Each “YHYW” item will
have the Sodexho “YHYW” symbol beside it.
Remember: Healthy Eating is Enjoyable!
