• The American Dietetic Association (ADA) website, www.eatright.org, has a Find a Dietitian section. Simply enter your zip code and agree to the liability disclaimer to continue. This is a complimentary service provided by the ADA.
  
  
• Dietitians from State and Local Chapters of the ADA can be contacted for nutrition information. A directory of Affiliate (State) Associations (link) is located on ADA's website.
  
  
• Most hospitals in the U.S. employ a Registered Dietitian who conducts outpatient counseling. Calling your local hospital will put you in touch with the RD.
