Nutrition education

Want to lower your chances of getting a disease, improve your quality of life or simply feel better? How you eat plays a big part. The registered dietitians at The Polyclinic Madison Center and Northgate Plaza can help. They’re experts in food and nutrition.

You’ll receive personalized guidance focused on helping you meet your nutritional needs. And you won’t be asked to follow a diet plan. Instead, you’ll be encouraged to eat whole foods.
