Nutrition Services Open Hours
Mondays between 4pm-5pm, stop by for a brief, individual visit with the dietitian. This is a great opportunity if you have a few nutrition questions but are not sure a full session is needed. Visits typically last 15-20 minutes and are taken on a first-come, first-serve basis. Follow-up visits can be coordinated with the dietitian. 

"Ask the Dietitian" Service: Have a question? Ask the Dietitian! If you have general questions, please submit them through our Ask the Dietitian form, or search the Questions and Answers section to read past entries.
