More Than Nutrition. A Lifeline for Our Community.
Grady is Atlanta's largest public hospital and safety-net provider, caring for patients regardless of their ability to pay. Many of the patients you will see face food insecurity, limited access to care, and cultural or economic barriers that shape how they eat and how they heal.
As a Dietitian at Grady, you assess for food security and connect patients with real resources. You build nutrition plans that account for a patient's culture and circumstances, not just their diagnosis. That work matters as much to their recovery as any medication.
- Serve a patient population that reflects the full diversity of Atlanta
- Assess for food insecurity and connect patients to community resources
- Deliver care rooted in cultural awareness and patient dignity
