Nutrition Therapy at St. Mary's Hospital Food can make a significant difference in how the body resists, fights, or lives well with many diseases. Nutrition therapy can help control such disease as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, renal disease, and obesity. The hospital's registered and licensed dietitians provide tools and information to convert a physician's diet order to your dining table.
Dietitians can explain the relationship between food and a given disease state.
They will then look at what you normally eat and assist you in identifying changes you can make to help control your disease. Nutrition therapy is available by appointment Monday through Saturday at St. Mary's Hospital, and by appointment at our satellite location in Lexington Park.
