Job Description:
Join our team as a Primary Care Registered Dietitian and be part
of a healthcare organization that believes in making a difference
beyond medical care! At Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic, we value
inclusivity, and we are more than just a job - we are a community
committed to the well-being of our migrant farmworkers.
In our medical clinics, Registered Dietitian Nutritionists work
alongside medical and mental health providers to address the
nutritional needs of primary care patients. Registered Dietitian
Nutritionists at primary care sites counsel patients of all ages on
nutrition-related conditions (diabetes, cardiovascular disease,
weight management, digestive issues, food allergies) and provide
preventative education (Well Child Checks, prenatal counseling,
healthy families), addressing general nutrition questions and
concerns.
The Primary Care Nutrition Services model utilizes Motivational
Interviewing, and nutrition interventions are tailored to meet the
individual's lifestyle and support their health goals in a
judgment-free, sensitive, and supportive environment. Our Primary
Care RDNs are readily accessible in our clinics for warm handoffs
from providers. They are proactive in identifying patients to drop
in through reports and registries. Same-day access is available at
no cost to any patient who has established care at our clinics.
