MCMH + Clinics Nutrition Services Department provides comprehensive and personalized nutrition care to help our patients achieve optimal health outcomes. Our registered dietitians offer a range of services to meet the unique needs of each patient.

 

Outpatient Services

Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is an evidence-based nutrition therapy led by a Registered Dietitian (RD) to help treat medical conditions. It is an individualized nutrition process meant to help treat certain medical conditions. MNT occurs in a hospital or outpatient setting and involves a nutrition diagnosis as well as therapeutic and counseling services to help manage the following nutrition-related medical conditions:

  • Diabetes, pre-diabetes, or diabetes prevention
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Hypertension
  • Cancer
  • Gastrointestinal disorders
  • Food allergies or intolerances
  • High cholesterol or high triglycerides
  • Weight management
  • Cardio/Pulmonary rehab

If you are under the care of a physician and need nutrition counseling, you can be referred to a dietitian for MNT. Once the dietitian receives the referral, you will be contacted to set an appointment time for a consultation.

By providing guidance on healthy eating habits and recommending specific diets, our dietitians can help optimize patients' nutrition and overall well-being.
