Cafeteria prices to change May 13

It is the goal of The University of Kansas Hospital to ensure our patients, staff and visitors have the best dining experience possible. While prices have remained unchanged since 2008, food and labor expenses have continued to rise. As a result, it's necessary to raise food and beverage prices in order to maintain high standards and continue to provide the highest level of quality and service possible. 

Only items currently below market value in the cafeteria and other retail locations will increase in price. There will still be many meals you can buy for less than $5 before tax. 
Sample lunch and dinner options less than $5 (before tax):

• Healthy entree, two healthy sides and 20 oz. fountain beverage = $4.99  
• Chicken strips, french fries and 20 oz. fountain beverage = $4.87
• Turkey burger, french fries and 20 oz. fountain beverage = $4.87
• 16 oz soup, french fries and 20 oz. fountain beverage = $4.67
• Hot dog, french fries and 20 oz. fountain beverage = $4.27

The University of Kansas Hospital Cafeteria, Parkway Cafe, Cambridge Café, and Java City will be affected by the increase.
