Celebrating Healthcare Foodservice Workers Week

Honoring the KCHS Dietary Team

This week, we’re proud to celebrate Healthcare Foodservice Workers Week—a time dedicated to recognizing the people who keep our patients, residents, visitors, and staff nourished with care, compassion, and quality meals.

At Kearney County Health Services, our foodservice team plays a vital role in the healing environment. Every tray they prepare and every meal they serve reflects their dedication to comfort, nutrition, and community.

Dietary Cooks

Diane Miller, Angel Shulz, Janet Lampman and Bea Wengler round out our dietary team as Dietary Cooks.

The Heart of Every Meal

Foodservice in health care is about more than preparing meals — it’s about nourishing recovery, restoring comfort, and supporting healing. From early mornings to late evenings, our dietary team manages complex menus, dietary restrictions, food safety protocols, and special requests — all while keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.

Their efforts help ensure that each patient receives not just a meal, but a moment of care and comfort during their stay.

A Week of Appreciation

During Healthcare Foodservice Workers Week, we extend our deepest gratitude to Amy, Diane, Angel, Janet, and Bea.
Thank you for your commitment, your teamwork, and your compassion. Your work makes a difference in countless ways — one meal at a time.
