Fasting? Snacks Available in the House Officer Lounge

The HOA will provide a limited number of dates, snacks, and bottles of water reserved for those who are fasting for Ramadan.

Ramadan is the holy month of fasting and worship for Muslims worldwide. Those observing Ramadan abstain from food and drink (including water) from dawn until dusk each day. Daily fasting while working a resident's schedule can be particularly taxing.

We're a little late this year due to the lounge closure in February, but we are happy to announce we've made snacks available in the House Officer Lounge for those who are fasting. The snacks, dates, and water are on the bench right inside the entry.
