Nutrition Counseling
Increases in chronic diseases that are related to diet have made nutrition a high priority for preventive health.  Our Registered Dietitians (RD's) provide Medical Nutrition Therapy one-on-one for medical conditions that are linked to diet, including diabetes, elevated cholesterol, high blood pressure, weight management, and food allergies.  They also work with parents on nutrition issues for children with special health care needs.  For patients without Medicare or Medicaid, we use a sliding fee scale based on household income.   

RD's also provide nutrition education programs through many community venues, all free of charge.  Group presentations are offered across the district to schools, worksites, civic and church groups on topics such as weight loss, osteoporosis, and nutrition for children, women, or the elderly.

RD Bonnie Holt explains the new Pyramid guide.  It includes the recommended amount of exercise as well as proper nutrition.


RD Teresia Huddleston shows portion sizes.  It isn't just about what we eat.  It is also about how much.
