Medical Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition counseling is available at Jones Regional on an outpatient basis with the hospital's registered & licensed dietitians.

Are you searching for guidance with various nutrition issues, including weight problems, either underweight or overweight, high cholesterol or other abnormal lipid levels, food intolerances and allergies or other nutritional concerns? With a physician referral our nutrition counselors, all registered & licensed dietitians, are available on an outpatient basis. Insurance coverage varies, contact your carrier to become familiar with your benefits.

A Celiac Disease (CD) and Gluten Sensitivity support group meets monthly at Jones Regional Medical Center. Do you have gastrointestinal problems that are hard to pin down? Celiac Disease is much easier to diagnose than in the past. Once diagnosed, eliminating foods such as wheat that contain the protein Gluten can be very challenging.

However, the benefit to your health and well-being cannot be disputed. Come and meet people who have met this challenge and who have lots of ideas for living a Gluten/Wheat Free life. Ask questions, share ideas, new recipes and strategies for living with CD. A celiac support group meets in the hospital cafeteria on the second Thursday of each month, January thru November at 12:30 pm. Registration is not needed.

Our dietitians work with individuals to identify reasonable and realistic lifestyle changes and goals. Research has shown that working with a dietitian and incorporating nutrition therapy techniques and strategies can improve health.
