Dietician - Richmond, VA, Winchester, VA

The Registered Dietitian will be at the forefront of this intensive, adaptive, and patient-focused model. Panoramic Health is looking for nutrition professionals that understand the importance of the “Quadruple Aim”, where high-touch interactions between patient and healthcare provider enhance patient experience, improve health outcomes, reduce costs, and improve the work life of the provider. 

As an RD, you will manage the nutritional needs of a caseload of patients as they navigate the staged progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This will be done by providing disease-specific education in class-based settings, intensive support for nutritional issues and the management of non-medical risk factors as barriers to positive health outcomes. RD’s will further engage patients considered high risk for advancing CKD progression and unplanned dialysis starts, in one-on-one or telehealth encounters, to provide focused nutritional status assessment customizing nutrition recommendations to develop and implement nutrition care plans in collaboration with the interdisciplinary team based on patient risk level CKD/ESRD patients.

• Routine remote engagements with patients starting dialysis, both planned and unplanned. Engagements will be designed to ensure a smooth transition to dialysis and nutrition changes in collaboration with the in-center RD.
