Group Nutrition Education Classes
Monthly nutrition education classes are available at Tripler Army Medical Center and Schofield Barracks. Due to the volume of patients referred for nutrition education and counseling, individuals with common nutrition concerns such as weight control or heart health are often scheduled for a group education session before receiving an individual appointment to further customize nutrition recommendations.
Everyone is able to schedule an individual nutrition appointment with a Registered Dietitian 2-4 weeks after attending a class.
No referrals are required for classes. Below are a list of classes and times that are available.
**Scheduling an appointment is highly encouraged; walk-ins permitted as space allows but classes that are un-booked the day prior may be cancelled.**
