What You Should Know: 

– Culina Health, a digital platform dedicated to making clinical nutrition care inclusive and accessible announced its integration into the Adventist HealthCare Physician Alliance, a prominent clinically integrated network comprising over 2,400 healthcare providers.

– The Adventist HealthCare Physician Alliance is an integral part of Adventist HealthCare, a well-respected health system with a significant presence in the greater Washington, D.C. area, boasting more than 50 care locations. This collaboration underscores a shared commitment between both organizations to prioritize and expand access to vital nutrition care as a cornerstone of overall well-being.

Expand Access to Virtual Nutrition Counseling

This strategic partnership aims to proactively combat diet-related diseases by providing Adventist HealthCare Physician Alliance members and their patients with direct access to Culina Health’s expert team of registered dietitians. Through this integration, patients will benefit from virtual, insurance-covered nutrition counseling that is meticulously tailored to their individual health needs.

Culina Health will now offer a comprehensive range of personalized services to patients within the Adventist HealthCare Physician Alliance. These services include specialized nutrition support for cancer care, pediatric and family nutrition, diabetes management, sustainable weight loss strategies, general healthy eating guidance, and much more.

Operating in-network with most major insurance plans, Culina Health has already positively impacted the lives of over 10,000 patients. The platform utilizes its proprietary methodology, which seamlessly integrates evidence-based clinical nutrition protocols with non-judgmental and culturally-affirming care, empowering patients to achieve meaningful health outcomes. With a streamlined sign-up and referral process, coupled with a secure and convenient telehealth platform, Culina Health makes impactful nutrition counseling readily accessible from the comfort and privacy of one’s own space.

“Healthier diet and lifestyle choices have the power to transform lives, yet many don’t have access to this type of care,” said Vanessa Rissetto, CEO and co-founder of Culina Health. “We believe that providing widespread access to comprehensive nutrition guidance is crucial for patients and health systems alike. In collaboration with partners like Adventist HealthCare’s clinically integrated network, our approach has yielded significant A1c, cholesterol, and systolic blood pressure reduction for patients and up to $10.3 billion in annual cost savings for health systems when applied at scale.”
