The St. Joseph Mercy NutriCare staff consists of registered dietitians with expertise in weight management, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal disorders, emotional eating problems, childhood and adolescent nutrition and complementary nutrition therapies.

  • Interactive and entertaining nutrition and behavior classes featuring cooking demonstrations and food tasting
  • Hands-on cooking classes
  • Individual nutrition counseling

The hands-on cooking classes are a great way to have fun learning new recipes, as well as learning some new culinary skills. Everyone in class helps prepare a different recipe, and then everyone shares a delicious meal. These classes will convince you that "good-for-you" food tastes good and is easy to prepare. These programs are offered on the second floor of the Ellen Thompson Women's Health Center on the campus of St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. Call 734-712-5800 for more information.
