Java Jitney found its first place in a hospital on the Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC) Second Street Café menu. The Kosher community inspired the medical center’s decision to offer this new dining option. Java Jitney, a kosher mobile custom catering service, provides fresh home-style and wholesome foods including, hearty soups, assorted salads, dairy sandwiches, grilled veggies, deli hoagies and even sushi.
Everything is made fresh daily and packaged according to strict kosher law with RCBC certification.
“We’re receiving positive feedback. People like the option. It’s definitely a convenience that is well-liked,” said Irma Newdorf of Fair Lawn, assistant director of Nutrition and Food Management at HUMC.
The medical center’s sensitivity and regard for the needs and preferences of its patients, visitors, and employees is evident in the amenities, programs, and services it provides. Always striving to exceed and redefine the exceptional patient experience is a continuing goal.
For 11 years in a row, HUMC has been a Consumer Choice Award Winner –Bergen/Passaic’s Most Preferred Hospital for Overall Quality. The award is based on a survey of more than 140,000 households nationwide by the National Research Corporation of Lincoln, Nebraska.
