Nutrition services are available at our Danville campus and at the Hendricks Regional Health YMCA.
Our staff of nutrition experts and
registered dietitians is a vital tool in helping to reach our patient
and community education goals. They actively collaborate with other
staff members, such as nurses, pharmacy personnel, physicians,
therapists, social workers and others to ensure superior patient care.
Services include patient meal service, nutrition
education, nutritional assessment and a variety of nutrition programs.
Nutrition staff members are involved with a variety of
community-based nutrition education programs, including screenings that
are offered on a regular and as-requested basis. They prepare meals for
the Meals on Wheels program, the Hendricks County Senior Center and
Hendricks County Division of Family Resources. All meals are donated or provided at
minimal cost.
Dietitians also participate in a unique program in conjunction with
Partners In Care, which provides health care to Hendricks County
families who are underinsured or who rely on Medicaid. The program
focuses on ensuring that patients receive nutritional education during
their pregnancy.
