Overview
Pediatric Registered Dietitian (RD/LDN) – Tube Feeding & Complex Care
Pediatric Specialty Care at Philadelphia | East Falls, Philadelphia, PAPart-Time, Monday–Friday days, flexibility as needed | no on-call
For our kids, nutrition isn't one part of the care plan. It's the foundation.
Most of the 50 children who live at PSC Philadelphia are medically fragile, and many are fed by G-tube or J-tube. Every formula you choose, every calorie you adjust and every growth trend you catch shapes how they grow, heal and thrive. Here, the dietitian is a core member of the care team, not an afterthought.
