Washington State Registered Dietitian Nutritionist

Mercato is a national leader in medically tailored groceries, meals, and nutrition benefit solutions for healthcare. Since 2015, we've empowered over 4,000 independent grocers with a best-in-class SaaS e-commerce marketplace, delivering healthy, culturally relevant food to members-seamlessly, affordably, and with dignity.

As nutrition interventions are increasingly recognized as a critical part of healthcare , Mercato is expanding its clinical nutrition services to deliver evidence-based medical nutrition therapy, nutrition counseling, and nutrition education that complement medically tailored groceries and meals while improving member health outcomes.
