Hospital inpatient care

Licensed, registered dietitians are available to assist with hospital patients' needs and/or concerns. Dietitians are available Monday—Friday from 8 a.m.—5 p.m. and are on call weekends and holidays.

Clinic outpatient care

Licensed, registered dietitians can provide our patients with Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT).

Based on the assessment, those nutrition modalities most appropriate to manage the condition or treat the illness or injury are chosen."
