Nutritional Counseling

Inpatient Nutrition Services
If you require an inpatient stay at Emerson, our dietitians assess your nutritional needs and create a personalized care plan. We also offer weekly group lectures on nutrition and wellness in the Behavioral Health Unit.

Outpatient Nutritional Counseling
One-on-one counseling is available at our Nutrition Clinic in Concord and the Westford Health Center. Our dietitians specialize in:

• Weight management, cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disorders
• Cancer nutrition (oncology)
• Wellness Nutrition
• Pediatric Nutrition

We require a physician referral for outpatient services, and most insurance plans cover this service.
