Food Delivery Service Model for St. John’s Hospitals
Eating healthy, nutritious meals is an important part of a patient’s recovery back to good health. At Eastern Health, we are committed to providing our patients with quality, balanced and nutritious meals using Steamplicity®.
Owned by Morrison Healthcare – a member of Compass Group Canada, Steamplicity® is an innovative food delivery service model that has been tried and tested in hospitals across Canada since 2009.
Convenience at bedside
With Steamplicity®, patients receive a restaurant-style menu with a choice of entrée, appetizer, dessert and beverage for each meal.
Prior to mealtime, a food service associate visits each patient to take their order. Meal trays are then assembled based on individual requests in a health-care facility’s designated pantry area.
High quality meals
Steamplicity® offers patients high-quality, nutritious, and tasty menu options, some of which include the following:
Classic Pot Roast
Slow roasted beef round with rich gravy, fluffy mashed potatoes, baby peas and carrot-turnip blend

 Innovation
Steamplicity® uses an innovative valve control system to cook fresh food under steam pressure to perfection in minutes, locking in all the flavour and nutrients. Both the packaging and valve control release of steam during cooking are the key components in consistently delivering high quality meals.
High satisfaction
Steamplicity® has patient satisfaction rating of over 90 per cent at sites across Canada. For example, numerous hospital sites across Canada are using Steamplicity®, including North York General Hospital, Hamilton Health Sciences, Lakeridge Health, Toronto Grace General Hospital and Vancouver Island Health Authority, to name just a few.
At Eastern Health, we are committed to further improving the overall patient experience by offering nutritious, tasty food, along with personal care and attention - all of which are essential in a patient's journey to recovery.
