Nutrition Counseling

Nutrition for a healthy you.

If you want to educate yourself about healthy eating, our dietitians at Memorial Hospital can assist you!

Outpatient Counseling

Whatever your health needs or goals, the registered dietitians at Memorial can collaborate with you to evaluate and provide a customized nutrition program for you to:

• Lose weight or gain weight.
• Manage a chronic health condition, such as diabetes, heart disease, or kidney disease.
• Support your sports-related needs.

About Insurance Coverage

We encourage you to check with your insurance carrier to verify whether this is a covered service under your health plan. If you plan to have us bill your insurance carrier, we must receive an order from your physician prior to your appointment, including a diagnosis and/or a request for a dietitian consult. If you plan to self-pay for nutrition counseling, a referral is not necessary.
