Nutrition is a significant component in every child's treatment and recovery. Clinical dietitians at CHOC and Children's Hospital at Mission manage the nutritional aspects of patient care: evaluating nutritional status, monitoring growth, lab results and eating habits, and providing nutritional information and education for patients and their parents.

Because nutrition plays a key role in recovery, dietitians participate in daily rounds. They are also available for consultation for both inpatients and outpatients.
