Sarasota Memorial’s Registered Dietitians use the most up-to-date, evidenced-based research to provide effective medical nutrition therapy to patients who require nutrition support and education during their hospital visit or at home.
At any point during a hospital stay, patients may request a consult with a dietitian for nutrition assessments, education, tube feeding and parenteral nutrition recommendations. Nutrition intervention has been proven to promote healing, improve outcomes and decrease length of stay.
