diet clinic
Explanation:
found in the web:

'Diät- und Ernährungsambulanz
(Diät- und Ernährungsberatung bzw. -schulung von stationären und ambulanten Patienten)'

This (see URL below) refers to a clinic within a hospital, while your text mentions 'Spitäler' separately.

I also thought of companies that deliver diet-meals to patients' homes, but an 'Ambulanz' (Krankentransportwagen) definitely transports people, not diet-meals on wheels ... as far as I know.

disagree  RWSTranslation: Diätambulanzen sind sicher nicht nur für Diabetiker interessant, sondern z.B. auch bei Übergewicht oder anderen Stoffwechselstörungen
