When you think of a hospital, five-star dining doesn't come to mind. Intermountain Health chefs are working to change that.
"The thing that really differentiates us is the people and care that we put into everything," said Alex Govern, corporate executive chef at Intermountain Health. He said they treat patients as guests.They serve over 1,000 meals a day at Intermountain Medical Center, via room service, alone. Guests can call from their room and order any menu item and it's customizable to their dietary needs and preference.
"In preparation for a transplant, they want us to be as strong as you can, so it's really important you have good healthy food," he said."I've gained weight while I've been in the hospital and it's not bad weight, it's real food weight," Wilson said.It showed that patients who have lower meal intake experience increased mortality risk. This is something that Intermountain Health hopes to avoid by providing high-quality meals.
"If you are a patient guest of mine, 99% of the time, it's one of the worst days of your life; if we can impact that positively with a nutritional meal ... delivered with a smile, you'll heal faster," Govern said. The cooks, he said, also pride themselves in using the same ingredients in multiple meals to reduce waste.
