Staff Report

The community is invited to attend free nutrition and diabetes education classes during November and December at Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital.

Led by Clinical Dietitian Stacey Bailey, the classes encourage and support healthy eating habits and diabetes management for all ages. They are held in the hospital’s conference room. No RSVP is required and participants can bring their own lunch to eat during the class.

Bailey joined Cottage Health in August 2011 and provides both inpatient and outpatient dietary management and counseling services, as well as helping in the formulation of meal and menu planning specifically for Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital.

One-on-one nutrition sessions with Bailey are also available with a doctor’s referral. For more information, call her directly at 805-694-2351.
