Dietary Services Manager Mitch Cullimore arrives at Star Valley Health at 4:30 a.m. each day to help his team prep ingredients and lead them through the day’s service.
And Mitch knows that for patients who are hurting, a plate of food is more than just a meal. “While they’re eating, they might find a moment of peace during the chaos. If we can make a patient’s stay better through food, we try our best to do that.”
“Mitch goes out of his way to make meals for those with special dietary needs,” says Jeremy Price, VP of medical group and hospital ancillary operations. “He’s selfless in his approach to serving patients, Care Center residents, and fellow Star Valley Health team members.”
Our menu items include 14 different texture modifications to accommodate patient needs, along with considerations for dietary sensitivities and pediatric patients. Of course, there are some comfort foods that seem to be a favorite for many – like our homemade mac and cheese!
Mitch speaks to the collective gratitude of our culinary team: “We’re grateful for the job that we have, and we’re grateful for what we’re doing for the community.”
Thank you Mitch for all you do to provide an excellent dietary experience at Star Valley Health!
