Nutrition Services
Samaritan Hospital offers outpatient nutrition services. Our dietician offers one-on-one counseling, providing personalized plans to ensure that each patient's optimum health is
guaranteed.
Meet our dietician:
Ellen Homlong, RD, LD, CDE
- Certified Diabetes Educator
- Provides counseling for weight-loss, eating disorders, food allergies, etc.
- Develops personalized plans with one-on-one counseling. Family members are welcomed, but children are asked to be left at home.
A referral is not needed, but in some cases insurance will not pay unless you have a referral. Patients are encouraged to check their insurance for MNT (Medical Nutrition Therapy) coverage. Due to Samaritan's dietician having a Medicare provider number, Medicare patient's with the diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus or kidney failure are covered.
If interested in outpatient nutrition counseling, please schedule through Resource Scheduling at (419) 289-0491, ext. 2501.
