The Role of Hospital Dietary Teams

When you think of a hospital, doctors and nurses are often the first professionals who come to mind. However, behind the scenes, a dedicated culinary team works around the clock to ensure that patients, families, and staff are fueled and cared for, one meal at a time.

In this episode of Here’s To Your Health, host Jill Melby sits down with Svenn Bilsten, the Dietary Coordinator at Crawford County Memorial Hospital (CCMH).

We explore the logistics and behind the scenes of the kitchen at the hospital, the philosophy of “food as medicine,” and the unexpected joys of bringing a delicious meal to a patient during a stressful time.

Svenn also touches on the most popular meals at CCMH, from the beloved burrito bowls and pizza to the newly introduced chicken tetrazzini.
