Olean General Hospital and Bradford Regional Medical Center are providing patients with a special holiday meal who cannot be home for the Christmas holiday on Monday.
For those who will be patients at BRMC and OGH, as well as residents at the Pavilion on Christmas Day, the hospitals will be offering a festive complimentary meal.
“The holidays are all about being together with family and friends,” said Julie Becker, general manager, food and nutrition services. “Being able to provide these complimentary gourmet meals to our patients, residents and their guests to spend time together is so important to us.”
In addition, patients also receive a gratuitous meal for an invited guest to dine with them on Christmas Day. Additional patient guests may purchase a holiday dinner for $5.40.
Both hospitals’ Christmas Day menu will consist of sirloin steak, roasted red potatoes, roasted cauliflower and gingerbread thimble cake. The food and nutrition department will also meet any dietary requirements for each patient.
“We want to provide the best patient experience possible,” Becker said. “We hope that through this small gesture, our patients’ Christmas will be more pleasant.”
