How can a dietitian help you? Dietitians can provide a variety of services to individuals, businesses, organizations, long-term care facilities, and restaurants. Many people are concerned about their health and would like a dietitian to assist them with modifying their diets. Businesses and organizations may hire a dietitian to provide wellness classes or other nutrition programs or seminars for their employees or members. Long-term care facilities often require consultant dietitians for nutrition assessment, treatment and menu development. Restaurants may need help with menu development and recipe analysis.
