At CHOP, we know that having access to food and snacks is important during your child’s stay. To keep everyone safe and ensure food is stored properly, we have a few guidelines for using the unit refrigerators and freezers. These rules help prevent food-borne illness, avoid mix-ups, and make sure there’s enough space for everyone. Thank you for your understanding and for helping us keep our shared spaces clean, safe, and organized!

• Stocked by CHOP’s Food and Nutrition team with fresh, unopened items for patient and family use.
• To keep food safe, once you take an item, please do not return it to this fridge.
• If you’d like to save something for later that needs refrigeration, please label it and store it in the Family Lounge Refrigerator.
• Any open food or items brought from home must be labeled and stored in the Family Lounge Refrigerator.
• Have questions? Your nursing team is here to help!

We appreciate your partnership in keeping our hospital a safe and welcoming space for everyone!
