Your first appointment
After your physician referral, you’ll be scheduled for a one-on-one appointment with a registered dietitian to talk about your diet. Together you'll create a meal plan and set nutrition and/or fitness goals that can work for you.
Monitoring your progress
Schedule follow-up sessions to monitor your progress, learn new skills―like label-reading and cooking modifications―and help you make positive changes in eating and exercise habits.
Mindful eating at Genesis
At Genesis HealthCare System, we’re setting the example with mindful eating. Mindful eating is balancing nutrition while still enjoying the food and flavors you love. You’ll see Mindful logos on menu items in the Genesis Hospital cafeteria.
Track your progress
Keeping track of what you eat can help you understand where you need to make changes. Consider a handy dietary log to track your progress.
Community Education
You’ll find our nutritionists out and about in the community, helping you and your neighbors learn to make healthy eating choices. If you’re interested in having a dietician speak with your group, learn about the Speakers Bureau or call Genesis Diabetes & Nutrition Education today.
