At Innovative Hematology (IHI), we offer a future where people with rare blood disorders flourish. Our experts provide the highest quality comprehensive services and holistic care to patients with bleeding, clotting and other hematologic disorders, and to their families.
What You Will Do
The Registered Dietitian provides individualized, age-appropriate medical nutrition therapy to pediatric and adult patients served by IHI, including individuals with bleeding disorders and nutrition-related comorbidities. Services are provided through clinic, outreach, telehealth, and approved community settings.

The Opportunity
- Conduct comprehensive, age-appropriate nutrition assessments in clinic and outreach settings; document findings and incorporate recommendations into the patient’s individualized plan of care with the multidisciplinary team.

Assessments may include height, weight, body mass index (BMI) blood pressure, lipid panel results, hemoglobin A1C, and blood glucose levels.
