We are proud to announce Cura Hospitality's Chef of the Year nominees who are selected based on criteria that includes leadership in the kitchen, culinary expertise, client engagement and resident satisfaction. Today we celebrate Yuleika Martinez, a production manager at Baylor Scott & White Surgical Hospital Fort Worth in Texas, who enhances dining services – from retail to patient food and hospital special events! Yuleika graduated Magna Cum Laude from Johnson & Wales University with a Baking and Fine Arts/Food Service Management Degree. She credits her grandmother as her mentor, who instilled a hard-working ethic and a “never give up attitude” always putting 110% in whatever you do! Yuleika says “Never be afraid to try and try again. When recipes don’t work, just try it all over. Always remember to love what you do because your work reflects it.” Congratulations Yuleika on your nomination! #chef #culinary #acutecare #hospitals #patientexperience #completelysatisfied #diningexperience #foodexperience

About us
Since 1996, Cura has been curating dining service programs specific to each client’s needs, taking the worry of guest safety and satisfaction, employee development, operational and fiscal challenges off of our clients’ plates. As our client’s needs evolve, so do we. We are a company of experienced dining services professionals that came together under one name in 2019, previously doing business as Cura, A’viands and Valley Services, providing services in Life Plan Communities, and Acute Care. Cura is now part of Elior North America where, together, we are small enough to care and big enough to make a difference.
