After the much anticipated renovation of the Floyd Memorial Hospital cafeteria, the project is now completed and open. Within the dining area you’ll find a fireplace, new seating groups, designer finishes and serving islands for various food stations, including a “cook n’ show” area. By expanding the dining room, visitors and staff should expect to find additional seating and more space for improved flow to help during peak hours. Another exciting change is the addition of easily available nutrition facts data on our daily menu to help with healthy eating decisions. A touch-screen kiosk located in the dining area is wired with “Net Nutrition,” which allows patrons to build and analyze meals right down to the last calorie. Persons with food allergies and sensitivities will especially appreciate the kiosk’s ability to scan daily menu offerings for gluten, dairy, soy and more.
