Through the support of Employee Wellness funding, Memorial Hospital’s Courtyard Café has implemented a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week vending machine to better serve the nutritional needs of staff, patients, and visitors at any time, day or night.
Conveniently located inside the Courtyard Café near the hospital’s main lobby, this new vending option provides quick, health-conscious snacks and meals outside of traditional Café hours. The machine is stocked with a variety of nutrient-dense options, including fresh fruit, sandwiches, salads, protein bites, cottage cheese, and balanced snack packs. These items are designed to promote wellness and sustained energy for those working late nights, staying with loved ones, or visiting after hours.
“Our team is proud to offer this new amenity for everyone who walks through our doors,” said Brad Culpepper, Director of Hospitality. “We know that access to fresh, nourishing food can make all the difference for families supporting patients, or staff working long shifts at all hours of the day or night. This is just another way we’re living out our commitment to health, hospitality, and caring for our community.”
Looking ahead, the Courtyard Café plans to expand its vending options to include homemade dessert items and convenient heat-and-eat meals, providing even more healthy choices around the clock.
