Primary Care Registered Dietitian

About the Role

Join our team as a Registered Dietitian at Miramar Health Center in Kennewick, WA. Registered Dietitian Nutritionists in our medical clinics work closely with medical and mental health providers to support the nutritional needs of primary care patients of all ages. You will offer counseling for conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, weight management, digestive issues, and food allergies, as well as preventative education, including Well Child Checks, prenatal counseling, and healthy family guidance. Using a motivational interviewing approach, you will tailor nutrition interventions to each individual’s lifestyle in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

Our Primary Care RDNs are easily accessible for warm handoffs, proactively identify patients through reports and registries, and provide same-day, no-cost access for all patients established at our clinics. Be part of a healthcare organization that believes in making a difference beyond medical care, with 40+ clinics across Washington State and Oregon offering a wide range of services such as medical, dental, pharmacy, orthodontia, nutritional counseling, autism screening, and behavioral health.
