Working to Improve Your Health Through Better Nutrition

Registered Dieticians

Whether you’re looking to manage your weight or need help in managing chronic disease, what you eat plays a huge role in your overall health and well-being. South Shore Health offers nutrition education and counseling to support you as you make positive behavioral changes to improve your health and meet your dietary needs. 

Our Approach

Our nutritionists are all credentialed registered dietitians—which means that they receive ongoing education in the latest research-based treatments. Our team provides one-on-one counseling and develops a customized plan to help you meet your unique health goals. 

South Shore Health offers one-on-one nutrition counselling to adult and adolescent patients. Ask your Primary Care Provider for a referral to our Nutrition Counselling Services program. In-person visits are at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, and Telehealth visits are available. Outside referrals can be faxed to 781-624-4099. 

Our nutritionists welcome patients from Weymouth, Hingham, Norwell, Plymouth, Marshfield, Brockton, and the surrounding areas.
