Why Universal Rehab in Lubbock
Lubbock RDs on our team do clinical home-based nutrition therapy across the South Plains. Our dietary service line integrates with SLPs on dysphagia and RNs on tube-feeding cases.
What Dietitian Work Looks Like in Lubbock
The South Plains has meaningful chronic-disease burden — diabetes, CKD, and cardiovascular disease prevalence run higher than statewide averages, partly driven by demographics and partly by limited rural access to preventive nutrition counseling. Our RDs here manage poorly-controlled diabetes cycling through ER visits, CKD patients new to dialysis through DaVita/Fresenius units and area nephrology programs (the regional academic anchor is TTUHSC), oncology nutrition for cancer patients transitioning home, and tube-feeding management for stroke and head-and-neck cancer patients.
Schedule, Pay, and Benefits
- Caseload flexibility
- Weekly direct-deposit payroll
- Proprietary EMR with RD-specific templates
- CEU support for renal, diabetes, and oncology certifications
- Active referral incentive program
- Interdisciplinary integration
