Harris Maureen

I am Registered Clinical Dietician. My primary role as a clinical dietician is to design nutrition programs to improve or maintain the health of patients. These programs may be short-term, such as to ensure that proper nutrition is delivered to an accident victim until full healing has occurred. Or they may be long-term for patients with diabetes, kidney disease or old age conditions that affect proper nutrition. The programs designed may be preventive, for heart disease or obesity, or therapeutic to help a patient with heart disease maintain a baseline health and nutrition state. I most often work in hospitals, clinics, or public and community health settings. I am employed in long-term care facilities, veterans’ hospitals, universities and public schools, or private practice..
