Sometimes, the temperature inside the trailers reached 120 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe served 26,000 meals out of those semi-trailers. There were days when they were working with the thunder and lighting and hail pounding, and they never missed a beat. There was not a single meal that wasn\u2019t delivered to patients, and we averaged getting them there in 37 minutes,\u2019\u2019 Monnier said.<\/p>\n<p>The team received the \u201cTeams We Treasure\u2019\u2019 award, a UCHealth recognition program to honor teams that go above and beyond in the workplace, for overcoming the challenges posed by construction.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7488\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7488\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7488\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144411\/cafe2.webp\" alt=\"A new taco bar, not unlike those found at Chipotle or Qdoba, has opened in the Memorial Hospital Central caf\u00e9.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144411\/cafe2.webp 1200w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144411\/cafe2-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144411\/cafe2-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144411\/cafe2-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144411\/cafe2-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144411\/cafe2-200x133.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7488\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A new taco bar, not unlike those found at Chipotle or Qdoba, has opened in the Memorial Hospital Central caf\u00e9.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAll of this was done seamlessly with minimal disruption to patients and customers. It really took a team effort to plan, coordinate, and make the changes and I couldn\u2019t be more proud of this team and what they accomplished during this challenging situation,\u2019\u2019 Monnier said.<\/p>\n<p>During a week of celebrating the Caf\u00e9 reopening, Memorial treated employees to prizes, brought in a Mariachi band and gave staff a chance to swing at a pi\u00f1ata.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest changes is to the salad bar. Healthy foods like quinoa and kale will be offered regularly, along with more whole grains. The new salad bar is larger to accommodate a wider variety of choices.<\/p>\n<p>A new station featuring Mexican-style food that is not unlike Chipotle and Qdoba will allow employees to make fresh tacos, burritos or nachos. A sandwich bar featuring gourmet lunch meats, specialty breads, vegetables and condiments is also new to the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>To accommodate staff who have limited time to grab a meal, Sodexo, the company that provides food and nutrition services at Memorial, has added hot to-go meals. Last week, options included meatloaf with two sides, vegetarian lasagna and chicken pot pie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve re-designed our offerings with health and convenience for staff and visitors in mind,\u2019\u2019 Monnier said. \u201cWe listened to customers say that they needed to get food fast and designed our new caf\u00e9 to accommodate that need.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Monnier said food will be prepared under Sodexo\u2019s Mindful program, which offers calorie, sodium and fiber guidelines for meals.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7489\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7489\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-7489\" src=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144410\/cafe3.webp\" alt=\"Memorial\u2019s newly remodeled kitchen has modern amenities and new, healthy food options.\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144410\/cafe3.webp 1200w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144410\/cafe3-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144410\/cafe3-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144410\/cafe3-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144410\/cafe3-150x100.webp 150w, https:\/\/uchealth-wp-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/28144410\/cafe3-200x133.webp 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7489\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Memorial\u2019s newly remodeled kitchen has modern amenities and new, healthy food options.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Along with the new grease trap, the kitchen has new equipment: a grill, two refrigerators and a steam table.<\/p>\n<p>Construction on the grease trap required excavation inside and outside the hospital as new pipes that connect the kitchen to the grease trap \u2013 a giant box that sits underground on the west side of the hospital \u2013 were installed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project has been on the books for 15 years, and we have finally been able to complete it,\u2019\u2019 said Greg Gauna, director of Design and Construction at Memorial. \u201cThis was a challenging project.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Toll, a senior project manager who has been at Memorial for about a year, said: \u201cThis was my first big project here at Memorial and I\u2019m thankful for the support from everyone at Design and Construction and Bryan Construction who helped get it done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were a lot of big hurdles to clear, including shutting down the kitchen and opening the mobile kitchens, but we did it.
