<p style="margin-bottom:13px">Alexa Bacino, RD, CDE is a member of Summit Health's Nutrition Services team. Ms. Bacino specializes in pediatrics nutrition with a focus on diabetes, weight management, and cystic fibrosis. She has worked as a pediatric dietitian for over seven years, beginning her career as an inpatient dietitian at a large medical center working with children who suffered acute illnesses as well as the pediatric renal transplant team. She later transitioned to a registered dietitian/certified diabetes educator at a pediatric specialty center where she primarily worked with diabetic children. &nbsp;

Ms. Bacino’s passion for healthy cooking, nutrition, and physical fitness lead her to pursue a career as a dietitian where she can work with patients and their families to build their nutritional knowledge and offer tools and strategies that can improve their overall health.

“Healthy habits and lifestyles begin during childhood and adolescence,” says Ms. Bacino. “It is extremely important for people to understand how nutrition impacts their health, and it brings me great joy knowing I can empower individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary, in a judgment-free environment,&nbsp; to improve their lives.”

When not working with patients, Ms. Bacino enjoys cooking, traveling, and staying active outdoors. She is passionate about dog rescue and assists with volunteering and fundraising for a local rescue shelter. She adopted her adorable pitbull mix, Titus.<br />
