Ever try to figure out what eating plan is right for you? It can be challenging. A registered dietitian can assist you in developing a plan that is right for you. 

Wood County Hospital Nutrition services offers individualized nutrition counseling (MNT) tailored to fit your lifestyle and your medical needs.
