Hospital Cook

A hospital cook may not be as fashionable as an executive chef working downtown, but the pay and benefits are attractive. Hospital cooks are in charge of producing large quantities of food for hospital patients, staff, and guests. Past perceptions of hospital food as bland and boring are changing as the health services industry becomes more competitive. In order to attract patients, hospitals are beefing up their kitchen staff and operations, and hiring professional chefs that can produce high-quality fare.
