OwensboroHealth.org/Muhlenberg Dietary Services not only prepares meals for all patients in the hospital, but also offers a convenient on-site cafeteria for patients’ loved ones, hospital employees and anyone in the community to enjoy a quick, tasty meal. David Munster, director of Dietary Services, has been working at the hospital for nine years. “We have a service attitude and a focus on our patient and guest experience,” Munster said. “We enjoy providing good food for our guests. That’s what is most fun about this job. There are many different people and lots of different ways we can serve, and it’s fun to get to do that every day!” In May, the Dietary Services Department at Owensboro Health Muhlenberg Community Hospital was awarded a bronze medal at the 11th annual Taste of Muhlenberg event. Keeping with the event’s theme of “Run for the Roses,” the dishes prepared for judging were miniature Derby pies and pulled barbecue chicken sliders. Cindy Mayes has worked at the hospital for nearly seven years, and was able to cook for this year’s Taste of Muhlenberg event. “Our Dietary Services Department is always open to new and different food items for our menu,” Mayes said. “Barbecue chicken is my favorite food to cook and to eat. The smell and taste reminds me of my family cookouts we used to have at the lake.” Michelle Martin has worked in Dietary Services at the hospital for three years, and also enjoys participating in events like Taste of Muhlenberg. “It’s fun to get to serve our food to people in the community and hear how much they enjoy it,” Martin said. “We have customers come from outside to eat with us at the hospital because we serve good food and provide friendly service. That’s my favorite thing about working here, serving others.” din ing Delicious Cafeteria information Located on the ground floor of the hospital, the cafeteria offers a grab-n-go cooler with salads and sandwiches, an ice cream freezer with various frozen novelties and a drink station.
