Nutrition Services

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) Services
Using MNT, our registered dietitians (RD) provide reliable, objective, disease-specific nutrition information to help each patient reach their lifestyle and health goals.
RDs teach, coach and guide patients so they understand how food and nutrition play an important role in protecting and improving their health. RDs are specially trained to counsel patients on areas of health that are affected by the food they consume that requires individualized meal plans.

Learn More or Schedule an Appointment
Ask your physician for a referral to meet privately with an outpatient registered dietitian to develop a nutrition plan for your specific needs. Insurance coverage may apply; call your insurance provider for more details. For more information, or to schedule an appointment, call 913-791-3500, ext. 4014.
The patient’s partner, or caregiver, is highly encouraged to attend the MNT appointment.
