Dietitian Services

Registered Dietitians (RD) are the food and nutrition experts who guide people to improve their health through medical nutrition therapy (MNT). Whether you need support for special dietary situations or simply want a healthier lifestyle, you can benefit from professional guidance from our Registered Dietitian. Take advantage of nutrition guidance that can include inpatient and outpatient MNT, personalized dietary instruction, meal planning, education materials, nutrition status monitoring, and specific dietary programs.

Who Qualifies for Nutrition Counseling?

Chronic and new-onset conditions can qualify you for nutrition counseling, including but not limited to:

  • Heart disease
  • Renal disease
  • Weight management
  • High blood pressure
  • Decreased appetite
  • Overall wellness
  • Food allergies/intolerances

How to Set Up an Appointment

Doctor referral and self-pay options are available. Ask your doctor at your next appointment about Dietitian referral options or contact our Dietitian about self-pay appointments. All outpatient visits start with an initial appointment to review labs, intakes, medical history, and more. Follow-up appointments are then set up on a weekly, monthly, or bi-monthly basis. All inpatients are seen once admitted to RCH if found at nutritional risk. Care is coordinated with the health care team and all patients are regularly followed up on to monitor progress.
