BRMC wants to ensure that even if it’s just a festive meal, their patients still get to celebrate the holidays in some way. Also, patients can invite family or friends to enjoy the holiday meal with them — any additional meals may be purchased for $5 per person.
“We’re overjoyed to be able to give our patients some holiday cheer when they need it most,” said Julie Becker, general manager, food and nutrition services. “No one wants to be away from their home, family, and friends during the holidays. Through these small gestures we hope to show our patients that our goal is to create a positive patient experience.”
Visitors are kindly reminded that masks must be worn at all times to ensure the safety of all patients.
