"I want to empower people to find healing in nutrition and joy in food. I pursued a career as a dietitian because I truly believe food is medicine, food is fuel, food is healing. As an athlete, I see that in my own life. But I think the place I've seen it play out the most is certainly with my patients, and more specifically with those experiencing an eating disorder," says Jen Wilke, registered dietitian and clinical nutrition manager. I want to be part of the healthcare movement. Not only am I able to work with a company that values the patient first but a company that helps the people (caregivers) who help the people (patients). The values, professionalism, and progressive approach of Intermountain has captivated me, and I’ve found my forever career and home.
