INPATIENT HOSPITAL AMENITIES

  • Private Rooms: Please note that York Hospital is in the midst of converting all of our inpatient rooms to private rooms, but still have several rooms that are shared by two patients. We will do our best to provide you with a private room if available. While we can’t guarantee that we will have a private room available for you, we will make every effort to accommodate your request.

York Hospital’s Dining and Nutrition Team provides delicious and nutritious meals that are prepared fresh and in-house by our kitchen staff. Our innovative Room Service program allows you to order your meal – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner – whenever you want it. A menu will be given to you upon your arrival. If you are on a special diet prescribed by your doctor, you will receive a menu tailored to your specific needs. To order your meal, all you have to do is call extension 3663 (FOOD) and someone will be available to take your order.
