Protected mealtimes

We observe protected mealtimes at the Unit and may ask you to leave while meals are served. Protected mealtimes are an important part of a patients care and recovery. Keeping these times protected means patients can eat in in a clam atmosphere with time to enjoy this vital part of their recovery.
