Planning inpatient visit: What is on the inpatient food menu?

Posted by amylward @amylward, Nov 22 3:12pm

I'll be at Mayo Phoenix hospital in December for a week. I was wondering if it was possible to get a copy of the current general inpatient menu. I have some food sensitivities (not allergies) and usually need to plan ahead a little bit. I'd also love to know if visiting family can request trays, too, at their own expense during mealtimes (some hospitals do this).

I understand that this would just be a general menu and that my doctor will have final call on what sort of food I'll be eating whilst there. 🙂

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Visiting Mayo Clinic Support Group.

Great question, unfortunately I do not have answer. But would be good question for Mayo's free Concierge Services. Here is how to contact:
• By phone 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central time, Monday-Friday: 507-538-8438
• Email: concierge@mayo.edu
• Online: Request Concierge Services - http://cdforms.mayoforms.org/mayocliniccom-ahbyn/pages/c9d36544cef4e41180d800155dcfc10f.html

There is also a visitor cafeteria, https://www.mayoclinic.org/patient-visitor-guide/arizona/places-to-eat

Hope that helps.

Hello @amylward. I have attached a copy of the patient menu for the Arizona campus. Hope this information helps with your upcoming trip to Mayo Clinic.

I am very grateful - thank you so much! If you have the carb restricted one as well, I'd love to see that!

I was not able to find a low carb menu for the AZ campus, but Did see there was one under the Rochester campus. I will put that below, hopefully it will be helpful for you.
