NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING

Nutritionists work with patients to make sure they eat properly during treatment. Nutritionists monitor the patient’s weight, and nutritional status.  Nutritionists may provide patients with recipes, vitamins, and nutritional supplements, etc. to improve their nutritional status. By providing a nutrition plan tailored to each person, the Welch Cancer Center hopes to improve success rates by maximizing the effectiveness of treatment by reducing the risk of malnutrition. Malnutrition is a major risk to all patients diagnosed with Cancer.  Aggressive identification and treatment of nutrition related symptoms can stabilize or reverse weight loss in 50 to 88% of oncology cases. Nutritionists attend four years of college, then usually take part in a one-year internship. The American Dietetic Association registers Nutritionists who have passed a professional examination.

Georgia Boley is the registered dietitian/nutritionist for the Welch Cancer Center. She achieved her degree from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She is a member of the American Dietetic Association Nutrition Oncology Dietetic Practice Group.
