Meet Dietitian Jennifer Acevedo

Registered dietitian Jennifer Acevedo specializes in pediatric and adult weight management at Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network. Acevedo joined the team in August of 2006 and cares for people who join the medical weight loss program. She is a cheerleader for her patients. "I set the tone about what to expect with lifestyle changes," she says. "People come in looking for the hope, and I help motivate them."

Acevedo challenges her patients to ask themselves, "What is my motivation?" "That is where the impact begins," she says. "One of my patients said she would love to salsa dance again, so I turned the motivation into a challenge!"
