Patient Meals
University Hospitals St. John Medical Center offers room service to our patients, providing an excellent dining experience.
Room service menus are located in patient rooms. Patients and visitors are able to order from a wide variety of food choices* at times that are convenient for them. The room service representative will assist patients with menu selections, based on nutrition orders the physician has written. Once patients and/or family members have made menu selections, the room service representative will pick up your menu.
We ask that visitors check with the nursing staff before bringing outside food into patient rooms. UH St. John Medical Center is not responsible for food brought in from outside.
*Menu items may be limited for those on a special or restricted diet.
Electronic Health Record
Our new electronic medical record system, Epic, provides you with safe, secure access to your UH personal health record (PHR) through our online patient portal, UH MyChart. Sign up today and enjoy having all of your health information and test results in one place.
Patient Privacy
At UH St. John Medical Center, all patient information is confidential. We carefully follow the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), which requires hospitals to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of all electronic protected health information.

Patient Advocacy Program
If you have concerns about any part of your care, we encourage you to first talk with your doctor, nurse or other caregiver. If your concerns are not resolved, or you prefer to talk with a third party, our Patient Care Advocates are here to help. You can freely voice complaints and suggest changes without being subject to coercion, discrimination, reprisal or unreasonable interruption of care, treatment and services. You may contact a Patient Care Advocate by phone, mail, email or fax. Our goal is to acknowledge your concern within one business day. We can:
- Address questions or concerns you have about your care
- Help you exercise your healthcare rights
- Review patient safety issues
- Clarify hospital policies
- Bridge the gap where you feel your expectations have not been met
- Provide information about hospital and community services
- Receive compliments for outstanding doctors and staff members
- Serve as a formal grievance mechanism for you and your family
We hope that through our efforts, you and your family will have a positive experience at University Hospitals.
