University Hospitals Case Medical Center is extending its commitment to diversity to food service.

The hospital, in conjunction with Sodexo Health Care Services, said it has installed a “Hot Nosh 24/6” unit, which is a kosher hot food vending machine. UH Case Medical Center said it’s the first such machine in the state, offering patients, caregivers and others around-the-clock access to a hot kosher meal.

The machine was installed to meet the needs of kosher individuals after regular dining hours, said Ron Dziedzicki, senior vice president of operations at UH Case Medical Center.

The machine offers pizza, mozzarella sticks, potato knishes, onion rings and vegetarian cutlets. It’s in the Atrium Cafeteria at the hospital.

Sodexo provides food and environmental services management for University Hospitals.
