Medical Nutrition Therapy
At Schoolcraft Memorial Hospital, our Registered Dietitian provides evidence-based Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) to support patients across the continuum of care—from acute hospitalization to recovery and long-term disease management. MNT is a personalized, therapeutic approach to nutrition that uses comprehensive assessment, nutrition diagnosis, and individualized intervention to improve health outcomes and support healing.
Inpatient Nutrition Services
In the hospital setting, our dietitians work closely with physicians, nurses, and the interdisciplinary care team to address complex medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, gastrointestinal disorders, malnutrition, wound healing, critical illness, and post-surgical recovery. Nutrition plans are tailored to each patient’s medical condition, lab values, medications, cultural preferences, and ability to eat safely.
Services include:
- Nutrition assessments
- Individualized care plans
- Diet modifications
- Enteral and parenteral nutrition management

Our goal is to optimize nutritional status, prevent complications, support recovery, and empower patients with the knowledge and tools they need to continue healthy nutrition practices after discharge.
