Patient Nutrition St. Maarten Medical Center

If you are being admitted as a patient, your attending physician will inform SMMC about any special dietary needs your condition requires. If however, you already follow a specific diet, e.g. if you are diabetic, adhere to a salt-less or vegetarian diet, please inform the staff during your admission process. Also, please inform the staff of any particular foods or condiments you wish to avoid due to religious practices or health consequences such as allergies.

              Water and juices are served additionally between meals

 

Please note that hospitalized patients, especially those on medically required diets, must have physician’s approval to eat any food other than what is served in their rooms.
