The Department of Clinical Nutrition provides medical nutrition therapy for a variety of inpatient and outpatient medical conditions. The goal of nutritional treatment is to provide the appropriate nutritional program for each medical condition, in order to maintain an optimal nutritional status, thereby supporting a patient's ability to recover from his or her illness, or maintain the best possible health under a given condition.

For hospitalized patients, the department provides individualized nutritional treatment, mainly through special nutritional supplements or diets. The department also helps guide the hospital's nutritional treatment policies and initiates new treatments using advanced nutritional materials.
