Nutrition Services & Counseling

Services

Henderson Health Care’s registered dietitian (RD) is licensed by the State of Nebraska to provide clinical nutrition services to Henderson Community Hospital patients, Legacy Square, and Rosewood Court residents and members of the community.

The outpatient nutritional counseling program focuses on helping individuals learn to make healthy food choices and lifestyle changes.
