Good nutrition is a key factor for the health and well-being of all of us. If we want our bodies to feel better, look better, and perform better, we need to feed them properly. As such, Pocahontas Memorial Hospital is very pleased to announce its newest service for both inpatients and outpatients – Nutrition Counseling with Registered Dietitian Katie Brown. Nutrition counseling can help people make personalized, positive lifestyle changes leading to better health outcomes. Education, support, and follow-up are all part of this process.

Nutrition counseling has been proven to help people with: diabetes, high cholesterol, weigh management, gastrointestinal issues, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. Services for qualified patients are covered by Medicare, as well as most insurances.

A referral from your healthcare provider is required. If you think you might benefit from nutrition counseling, speak to your provider about it at your next appointment. If you have questions or would like to learn more, please contact Katie Brown at 304-799-7400 ext 1023.
