FLORHAM PARK — For some hospital patients, the nutrients delivered to
the body through a tube feeder can make the difference of a speedy recovery.
That is why Nestle Nutrition, part of Nestle U.S.A., which manufactures
products ranging from baby formula to chocolate and is considered to be
the world's largest food company, is working to ensure doctors
nationwide better understand how to prescribe the right mix of proteins,
carbohydrates, fats and other essential nutrients for patients requiring
extra help eating, said Sally Steele of Nestle HealthCare <#> Nutrition.
"The right food can positively influence a patient's outcome, heal
wounds, nurse a
premature baby to health <#>," Steele said.

Nestle's enteral nutrition fellowship program is based out of four
universities — Oregon Health Sciences University, University of
Louisville School of Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina and
the Weill Cornell Medical College. Most training is likely to occur at
these locations.
It is open to medical graduates specializing in trauma, surgery,
gastroenterology, endocrinology and critical care. Nestle Nutrition will
award the first enteral nutrition fellowships in March.
