Medical Nutrition Therapy
Good nutrition is a cornerstone of good health. At Access to Healthcare Network, our Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) program is designed to help prevent and manage a variety of health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and high blood pressure.
One of our knowledgeable and experienced Registered Dietitians (RDs) will meet with you to review your medical history and provide disease-specific nutrition education and recommendations based on your needs.
