Fresh Focus #96: Dietitian and Rehab Therapists impact care

Home Based Primary Care (HBPC) at the VA is unique because each member of the team works closely together to provide Veterans with the very best care. Listen in to this episode to find out more of what Dietitians and Occupational Therapists do overall, and as part of the Home-Based Primary Care program. HBPC dietitians visit Veterans in their homes so they can assess nutritional status and identify any nutrition needs to improve their overall health. Occupational therapy is a client centered healthcare profession that focuses on promoting health and well-being through engagement in everyday activities, which could mean things like taking care of yourself, managing household tasks, going to work or school, or being able to participate in your favorite hobbies.
