It's Time for a Check-up If…

• You or a family member have diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure.
• You diet routinely, only to regain the weight.
• You dislike your body image and/or struggle with obesity.
• You are discontent with your current eating patterns.
• You eat on the run and survive on hit-or-miss meals.
• You routinely lack energy and feel chronically fatigued.

You want to invest in your health and future well-being.

Check with your doctor for a referral to a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. A physician's prescription is necessary if the participant wishes to utilize health insurance benefits to cover the cost of the visits. Medical Nutrition Therapy is covered by some insurance groups, Medicare and some Medicaid plans, depending on the medical diagnosis. Please contact your insurance provider to verify your benefits. Self-pay appointments are available. Appointment times and types vary by location. Please contact the hospital campus closest to you to schedule an appointment.

*Patients with newly diagnosed diabetes or a history of diabetes with no previous diabetes education may be eligible for an American Diabetes Association Recognized Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support Program on select Memorial Hermann campuses.
