FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Has it ever occurred to you
to wonder about the source of
your daily food? The Dietary
Department of Barnes Ho s pital serves a total of approximately 5,000 meals a day.
The amazing part of this i s
that-all of this food is prepared in our central main
kitchen.
The main kitchen serves
all of the patients in Matern ity, McMillan, and Barnes
Hospitals, as well as personnel in the Barnes Cafeteria,. the McMillan Lunch Counter,
and the Barnes Soda Fountain.
jIMie Washington Univers ity
Clinics Lunch Counter, under
other management, serves all
of its raw and cooked foods
from Barnes Main Kitchen.
Food service to the patierts
is by the indirect manner o f
all food going to the floors in
electrically heated food carts
where it is served to the
patients.
The Barnes Hospital Cafe teria, which is operated for
all personnel including doctors, interns, nurses, laboratory technicians, occupational
therapists, social service wor
kerSj dietitians, Washington
University students of the
Medical and Dental Schools,
office employees, and other
hospital personnel, is operated on a non-profit basis„
Naturally, such a set-up requires a staff of supervisors
to coordinate operations. It
also presupposes inter-depart
mental cooperation.
For
example, the actual patient

food service is carried out by
the nursing department employees. Therefore, it is essential
that the pantry maids and the
nurse attendants work together
at all times.
This is only a bird^s eye
view of our department but it
does offer Food for Thought.
