Nutrition counseling is offered by a Registered Dietitian who will develop personalized nutrition plans and help you to have healthy eating habits and a healthy lifestyle. Nutrition counseling may also be beneficial to you if you have diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or need help achieving weight loss. Nutrition counseling is available for both adults and children in English and in Spanish. Ask your medical provider for a referral to our Registered Dietitian.

Health education is available to Indian Health Center medical members that have diabetes or other chronic conditions such as hypertension. Having these conditions can be complicated and our health educators are here to teach you about the condition, how to manage it, and set goals with you to improve your health and well being. If you want to quit smoking, our health educators can also help you. Health educators can see you before or after your medical appointments, or you can make a separate appointment to see them. You can also receive health education over the phone.

The Fitness Center is available to Indian Health Center’s patients, members of Santa Clara Family Health Plan insurance and the broader San Jose Community FREE of charge. Not only will you be able to use the gym, but you’ll have access to a certified Personal Trainer, and group exercise classes such as Chair Exercise, and Youth Fitness.
