Senior services specialist Cura Hospitality has announced it will begin offering foodservice management services to community hospitals in the Mid-Atlantic region. Its activities will include patient meals, clinical care for at-risk patients and retail dining. Cura recently developed an entirely trans fat-free hospital patient menu for Windber (PA) Medical Center. the company’s first hospital client. In addition to healthy menu options, Cura plans to introduce a spoken menu service in which a host or hostess will take a patient’s menu order at bedside. Cura’s clinicians will also help to identify nutritionally at-risk patients and recommend proactive care plans to help keep patients nourished and healthy through Cura-developed programs like Enriched Foods (supplement-free dining to help individuals maintain weight and cognitive ability), Puree Creations and So-Quenching, which ensures adequate hydration through a variety of flavorful hydrated snacks.
