Our highly-trained diet and nutrition experts provide individualized nutritional support services for our adult and pediatric patients. Often, when patients are diagnosed with a condition such as diabetes, heart disease, or obesity, or have already suffered from an event such as a heart attack, the physician may recommend the services of a nutrition specialist. This person will generally meet with the patient for about an hour to review diagnosis, medications, lifestyle and other important factors. A nutrition assessment will also be completed. Using that information, this specialist can develop a unique, individualized lifestyle plan to help the patient recover from or prevent illness. Ongoing meetings will enable the patient to report on progress and the specialist to adjust the program as necessary for the patient’s health. |
