Our program offers a wide range of nutrition therapy services designed to help patients develop healthier relationships with food.
We integrate nutrition into our daily activities in many ways, including:
- Individual nutritional counseling and meal planning
- Education groups on topics like awareness of hunger and fullness cues, intuitive eating, vitamins and minerals, food rituals, fad dieting, media influences and medical consequences of disordered eating
- Mealtime support during every meal and snack, with staff members present to promote a relaxing atmosphere and decrease anxiety associated with eating
- Weekend planning groups to help patients address eating outside of the hospital
- Weekly cafeteria visits to enable patients to experience mealtimes with staff in a less structured social setting
- Activities designed to help patients normalize eating and enjoy the social aspects of eating
