Culina Health, a digital platform dedicated to making clinical nutrition care inclusive and accessible, has established a strategic partnership with Adventist HealthCare Physician Alliance, expanding nutrition services to the clinically integrated network's extensive provider community.

The Adventist HealthCare Physician Alliance represents over 2,400 healthcare professionals across more than 50 care locations throughout the greater Washington, D.C. area. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment between both organizations to prioritize nutrition as a fundamental component of comprehensive healthcare and preventive medicine.

This partnership aims to proactively address diet-related conditions by connecting Adventist HealthCare Physician Alliance members and their patients directly with Culina's specialized registered dietitians. Patients now have access to virtual, insurance-covered nutrition counseling tailored to their specific health requirements and circumstances. Through this integration, patients within the Adventist network can utilize a wide range of personalized nutrition services, including specialized support for cancer care, pediatric and family nutrition, diabetes management, sustainable weight optimization strategies, general nutritional wellness guidance, and additional specialized services.

Culina Health works in-network with most major insurance providers and has already served over 10,000 patients nationwide. The company's approach combines evidence-based clinical nutrition protocols with culturally-sensitive, non-judgmental care that respects individual needs and backgrounds. Their streamlined referral process and secure telehealth platform make specialized nutrition guidance accessible from virtually any location.

"Healthier diet and lifestyle choices have the power to transform lives, yet many don't have access to this type of care," said Vanessa Rissetto, CEO and co-founder of Culina Health. "We believe that providing widespread access to comprehensive nutrition guidance is crucial for patients and health systems alike. In collaboration with partners like Adventist HealthCare's clinically integrated network, our approach has yielded significant A1c, cholesterol, and systolic blood pressure reduction for patients and up to $10.3 billion in annual cost savings for health systems when applied at scale."

This partnership represents another advancement in Culina Health's mission to democratize access to professional nutrition services. The company has steadily expanded its reach through strategic partnerships and technological innovation, positioning itself as a leader in virtual nutrition counseling within the growing digital health ecosystem focused on preventive care and chronic condition management.
