Nutritional Services

Maintaining proper nutrition is an essential part of effective cancer treatment, which is why we provide our patients with complimentary nutrition services at every phase of their illness. By doing so, we decrease their risk of infection, help them maintain proper weight and lean body mass, increase their strength and speed up their recovery. Because the nutrient needs of cancer patients vary with the individual, our registered dietitians take great pains to customize nutrition goals and strategies for each patient based on such factors as their BMI (Body Mass Index) and treatment plan.

To take advantage of our personal Nutrition Services, ask your Cancer Resource Specialist or Physician for a referral, or contact our clinical dietitian Amy Bragagnini, MS, RD at (616) 752-5237.
