Hospitals – Meals for Patients/Outpatients

You may have a relative or a friend going through a medical emergency. Hospital food, with rare exceptions, leaves a lot to be desired, mainly because many hospitals are under multi-year contracts with large operators and those have little incentive to offer high quality products.

We bring individually packed meals that a patient can receive in the hospital or once at home. Our trained dietitian is available to advise on meal selection to ensure that food combinations are appropriate given the procedure. We have low-sodium, low-glycemic options, softer foods high in Vitamin C and Zinc (such as post thyroid procedure recovery), and much more. When inquiring, ask to speak only with General Manager – who handles such orders directly.

Food as Gift Basket available (Hallmark card service available). We deliver all over greater Boston area.

Disclaimer: While we take many more steps than a traditional food operator, we are still a kitchen at the end of the day, not a laboratory. And we do not make any health claims about our ability to impact the patient via nutrition. We are just more thoughtful about what we cook and how we cook. Please order at your own discretion and risk.

Hospital food sucks. My sister was undergoing a procedure at a top hospital in Boston but the food they served left a lot to be desired. I discovered that one of Phinix’s services is delivery to patients at hospitals. During the week-long stay, I would personally receive the meals and bring them up to my sister’s bed. I was very impressed with the food, compostable packaging and the detail of macro nutrients on the plates. My sister needed food low on sugar and the HealthPoint55 brand was excellent fit – and it was gluten free. I told the hospital they should get rid of their cafeteria and bring in someone like Phinix.

My husband had a bariatric procedure (gastric bypass) and the dietitian prescribed a list of foods that he should be eating to recover his stomach while at home. I found Phinix online and tried them out. They had lean, protein rich plates that were low on salt and fats. You cannot eat high fat foods while you are recovering - regular takeouts are full of fats and sugars and if my husband ate that it would cause a dumping syndrome. Phinix rotated meals for 4 weeks straight while my husband recovered and then was able to eat more traditional, more solid foods. I am extremely impressed with their kitchen and the attention they paid to our condition.

I have type 2 diabetes and the doctor told me to avoid sugary and starchy carbohydrates because they will raise my blood sugar. Pasta, white rice, white potatoes, bread – all the things I loved were now on the black list. Fish, veggies and grains were in – but the tastiest stuff is usually carbs. I thought Phinix Kitchen would be another bland-health-nut place, but when I tried them, their meals are actually very balanced and taste like normal food I would make. My favorite is their purple sweet potatoes – they boil and mash it in a way to reduce the sugar content. I am very pleased with the variety of options on their website. I feel like their HealthPoint55 meal was created specifically for people like me.
