Helping Kids Get the Nutrients They Need
Nemours Children's registered dietitian nutritionists give kids the fuel to grow up healthy. We help children thrive through nutrition and healthy choices.
Our team works with renowned Nemours specialists in gastroenterology (digestive health), endocrinology (hormones and growth), nephrology (kidney health) and many others. We’re part of nationally and internationally recognized programs for kids with cystic fibrosis, diabetes and inflammatory bowel disease.
We help kids who are in the hospital get the nutrients they need to heal. We also provide outpatient nutrition counseling services and meal planning for children of all ages, health needs and abilities.
Our goal is to improve children’s health through nutrition. That’s why we’re involved in research and prevention activities that help kids with nutrition-related diseases live better. We want your child to be their healthiest, inside and out.
