Nutrition

Proper nutrition is key in maintaining or regaining your good health. Nutritionists at each of our hospitals are available to help you improve your eating habits to lower cholesterol and body fat or increase muscle and energy. These specialists are also able to discuss any new dietary requirements that may have changed for you due to a medical condition, such as a heart attack, weight loss surgery or digestive disorder.

The doctors and clinical staff at West Penn Allegheny are prepared to answer all of your questions; but, if you would like to meet with a nutritionist during your stay or receive information about outpatient programs, please ask a member of your health-care team.
