Preventive nutrition is aimed at individuals who are in good health - and want to stay healthy. Therapeutic diets are usually ordered for individuals directly under a physician's care, such as a patient in a hospital or someone recovering from surgery or illness. When special diets are ordered by a physician, a Registered Dietitian can help answer concerns and questions regarding ingredients, amounts and preparation.
Some areas of expertise include:
Generally, initial consultations are scheduled for one hour, with follow-up sessions scheduled as needed. A fee is charged for nutritional counseling. To determine insurance coverage each individual should check with his/her insurance company. Fees vary depending on the length of services provided. A referral order from the physician is recommended, but not mandatory.
Nutrition counseling at Campbell County Memorial Hospital and The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center is provided by a Registered Dietitian giving our patients accurate, up-to-date nutritional information.
A Registered Dietitian has earned a Bachelor of Science degree in dietetics and food and nutrition. To maintain registration a dietitian must take 75 hours of American Dietetic Association approved continuing education every five years. And, all Registered Dietitians are required to keep abreast of new developments in the field.
A certified dietary manager (CDM) has completed a dietary management course covering food service management, therapeutic diets and they have passed a national certification exam, and completed 45 clock hour credits every three years to maintain certification. A CDM is a member of the clinical team assisting Registered Dietitians in the nutrition care process.
