On-Site Specialty Care

 

At the East Boston Neighborhood Health Center, we recognize that nutrition is a vital part of wellness. While eating well plays an important role in healing, good nutrition is an essential part of preventing disease.

Our nutritionist, Carol Singletary, RD, LDN, CDE, is a fulltime clinician at the health center. She works in collaboration with all of our primary care and specialty departments, consulting with patients and providing nutrition education and support. She also teaches group classes.

As Ms. Singletary explains, "The diseases we face are mostly genetic, so the health message we provide is for the whole family. The major diseases affecting people in the US are heart disease/stroke, diabetes, and cancer. Food is an essential part of preventing these diseases. I work with families to help them understand how they can take care of themselves while living busy lives."

Ms. Singletary sees patients by referral. If you would like an appointment with Ms. Singletary, please speak to your primary care physician.
