A Day in the Life of a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with Winters Healthcare

If you were a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with Winters Healthcare, you would spend your day embedded within our integrated primary care teams. Patients may be introduced to you through a warm handoff from a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, behavioral health clinician, dentist, or population health coach. You might meet with a newly diagnosed patient with diabetes, help a pregnant patient navigate healthy eating during pregnancy, provide medical nutrition therapy for a patient with obesity and hypertension, or assist a family experiencing food insecurity.

You will provide both individual and group services. Individual visits may include comprehensive nutrition assessments, care plan development, chronic disease management, and follow-up counseling. Group services include a 10-week Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine Program featuring nutrition education, cooking demonstrations, physical activity, stress management, goal setting, and peer support. The RDN will oversee group programming and support curriculum development and quality improvement activities.

Beyond direct patient care, you will work closely with medical providers, behavioral health clinicians, dental teams, population health staff, and community partners to improve access to nutritious foods. The ideal candidate enjoys building relationships, creating innovative programs, educating patients and staff, and helping individuals make sustainable lifestyle changes that improve long-term health outcomes.

Can you see yourself helping us build the future of nutrition services at Winters Healthcare? We hope so!
