Eat Your Heart Out Cooking School

Learn to cook the heart healthy way! A registered dietitian leads the class in preparing a meal from the Mediterranean-American diet, the same diet used in our cookbooks. Participants also learn valuable nutrition information and have a chance to enjoy the heart healthy meal they prepare. Cost for two-hour cooking class varies with menu content. Minimum cost is $20.

Grocery Store Tour

This unique service is a guided grocery store tour led by a registered dietitian. During the tour, patients and family members learn how to read food labels, choose healthier products and become overall heart healthy shoppers.

Nutrition Consult

Developing a heart healthy eating plan can help you reduce your cholesterol and maintain a healthy body weight, both of which are important in the prevention of heart disease. Our program provides individual consultations with a dietitian designed to create a healthy eating plan that is right for you. The dietitian will review your blood lipid profile, discuss your current eating patterns and provide you with educational materials on foods that will lower your cardiovascular disease risk. The cost is $75. Learn More
