Pediatric Nutrition

Nutritional Services focus on meeting the nutritional needs of the patient, as well as achieving  proper growth and development. Our nutritionist provides nutrition education and counseling for multiple medical conditions and works directly with patients and their families to develop a nutrition plan that meets the medical and cultural needs of the family.

Children’s Medical Center is proud to announce  we have a registered dietician, Elizabeth Britt, MS, RD, LD, CLC, on staff to help provide weight management and proper infant and adolescent nutrition. Elizabeth “Betsy” Britt primarily works out of our Palm Harbor and Westchase locations. We look forward to her expanding to our other locations in the future.

Betsy completed her undergraduate degree at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio where she studied Kinesiology and Health with a concentration in Dietetics. She received her Master of Science degree from the University of Georgia in Food and Nutrition while completing her dietetic internship. Her thesis research involved identifying factors that affect fruit and vegetable consumption in college-aged adults. In 2013, she completed training to become a certified lactation counselor. In her spare time, Betsy enjoys exercising, cooking, and spending time at the beach with her daughter and husband.

Whether your child is underweight or overweight, a picky eater, or dealing with an eating disorder, Elizabeth is specially trained to provide help with Issues such as:

  • High cholesterol
