Eating right and learning about good nutrition are important whether you're a hospitalized patient or just want to adopt a healthier lifestyle. Registered Dietitians at Oroville Hospital apply the science of food and nutrition to health. Dietitians are health professionals who have a Bachelor of Science in Dietetics, complete more than 900 hours of internship training, and are credentialed by the American Dietetic Association.
While you are in the hospital, a dietitian will develop a personalized meal plan for you under the direction of your physician. But, you or your doctor can arrange for nutritional counseling at any time to help you improve your diet and promote health, address specific medical conditions, or manage your weight. Our nutrition professionals have the ability to identify and solve problems, and will start you on the path to a healthier way of life.
