Nutrition

Nemours registered nutritionists have special training and expertise in the nutritional needs of infants, children, and teens.

The staff can provide education, guidance, and motivation for children with chronic illness, obesity, or other problems that affect nutritional status. Our nutritionists often work with gastroenterologists, to provide nutritional guidance regarding diseases of the digestive tract, liver and pancreas.

The staff works with patients who have a variety of nutrition-related concerns, helping families make permanent behavioral and dietary changes that will improve their child’s health and quality of life. Nemours is a leader in obesity research, treatment and prevention.

Nemours nutritionists use an integrated medical record that unifies patient care across specialties and locations, prompting nutritionists to consider best practices gained from Nemours experience and academic literature. We provide excellent care that places the patient and family at the center, and our commitment to communication is central to the process. We strive to create a uniquely satisfying experience bringing peace of mind to patients and families.
