Nutrition

Expert, Focused Guidance for Your Dietary Needs

Highlands has registered dietitians on staff to support our patients.

Our team of registered dietitians, along with other clinical personnel, is dedicated to addressing the needs of our patients to provide them with the best possible chance in their fight against cancer.

Proper nutrition is essential during cancer treatment for maintaining strength, managing side effects, and aiding recovery. A balanced diet that is rich in plant-based foods, lean proteins, and healthy fats can help patients better tolerate treatment and may improve outcomes. Some patients may have difficulty eating due to the type or location of their disease and may require specialized methods to ensure they receive vital nutrients.
