Clinical Nutrition Services 

Your practitioner can refer you to Ryan’s Nutrition Department for information about good nutrition, or if you need help designing or following a meal plan. A nutritionist will assess your dietary needs, and will give you advice about your eating habits as they relate to your doctor’s recommendations. 

In addition to individual counseling, the Nutrition Department offers classes for patients to meet and discuss their progress within a group setting. Classes include cooking demonstrations, videos, and other recreational and supportive activities.

For an appointment, call 212 749 1820. For information, call 212 769-7235.

 The WIC Program 

Since a healthy diet is especially important for pregnant women and young children, a special nutrition program is available to pregnant and post partum women, and to young children up to five years of age. WIC is named for the people it serves - Women, Infants and Children - and eligibility for the program is based on both family income and the health status of the mother and children. If you are eligible for WIC, you will receive free nutrition classes and counseling at Ryan, as well as food coupons to buy nutritious foods at neighborhood supermarkets or grocery stores.

The WIC Program is located at 160 W. 100th St.

For information or an appointment, call 212 865-0410.
