Registered Dieticians

Our passionate and professional registered dieticians are well trained and experts in food and nutrition. Our passionate and professional registered dieticians help promote good health through proper eating. They supervise the preparation and food service, develop modified diet, participate in research, and educate individuals and groups on good nutritional habits. In a medical setting, a dietician may provide specific artificial nutritional needs to patients unable to consume food normally. Dietary modification to address medical issues involving dietary intake is also a major part of dietetics. The goals of the dietary treatments and counseling are to provide medical nutritional intervention, obtain, prepare, and serve flavorsome, attractive, and nutritious food to patients, family members.

Individuals who have specified educational credentials can call themselves "dieticians" — the title is legally protected. The term "nutritionist" is also widely used; however, the term nutritionist is not regulated as dietician is and is not an accurate term to give to a dietician. People may call themselves nutritionists without the educational and professional requirements of registered dieticians. A nutritionist is not a dietician, as a dietician is registered to a national board and accredited and a nutritionist is neither. New Passion Home Care employees’ experts registered dieticians as they are valuable members of the medical multi-disciplinary team providing nutritional knowledge and acting as consultants to other health care professionals such as our physicians, etc.
