Dietology
The Dietetics Department is part of the Internal Medicine Department and primarily covers the core areas of nutritional counselling and nutritional therapy. The most important approach of the dieticians at Tauernkliniken is to view nutrition as the basis for a healthy life and body. In our Dietetics Department, we offer individual nutritional counselling and therapy to promote the health and well-being of our patients. A balanced diet plays a key role in the prevention and treatment of many diseases. As healthcare providers, we help you tailor your diet to your specific health needs in order to support your recovery and improve your quality of life.
