Clinical Nutrition Staff

Many children with serious illnesses may have problems getting enough nutrients to help them stay strong and energetic. Clinical nutrition staff members at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital support the nutritional needs of our patients so they can grow, stay at an appropriate weight, and do activities.
