Outpatient Nutrition
St. Joseph Regional Medical Center is pleased to offer Outpatient Nutrition Therapy Services provided by a Registered, Licensed Dietitian (RD, LD) to assist you in managing your nutrition needs.
A registered dietitian is a professional who specializes in nutrition science and who interprets nutritional needs of individuals throughout the life cycle.
Medical Nutrition Therapy provided by a registered dietitian includes a review of what you eat and your eating habits, a thorough review of your nutritional health, and a personalized nutrition treatment plan. Together with the Registered Dietitian, you will set nutrition goals to improve your health.
Why is nutrition important?
Medical experts recommend individuals follow a healthy diet, maintain an ideal body weight, and exercise to help prevent the onset or progression of disease. If you have a personal or family history of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity and/or if you are concerned about your overall health, then you may want to meet with a dietitian for an individualized meal plan.
