Nutrition and weight management are critical to managing conditions such as pediatric hypertension and kidney stones. To help patients and their families meet important diet and exercise goals, UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh offers remote counseling via telemedicine, as prescribed by your child's pediatric nephrologist.
This service is available at Children's Specialty Care Centers in Erie and Hermitage. The hospital's state-of-the-art telemedicine technology makes counseling accessible, convenient and effective. Our Clinical Dietitian holds video consultations with patients and their families to discuss diet history; create an individualized, realistic diet and exercise plan, and monitor progress on a monthly basis.
Our individual plans are based on nationally recognized diets such as the DASH diet, the TLC diet, the Mediterranean diet, and recommendations from the USDA's Choose My Plate guidelines. These proven diet regimens have been adapted by our Clinical Dietitian to child and adolescent demographics.
The telemedicine format provides personal, face-to-face communication, important to maintaining motivation and understanding. Its availability at campuses throughout western Pennsylvania makes it accessible to families in areas where nutrition counseling may not be readily available.
