MEND selected to be exclusive clinical nutrition partner for the fast growing specialized digital marketplace for Physical Therapy and Orthopedics
MEND Nutrition Inc., a clinical nutrition company located in BioLabs@NYULangone in New York City, announced today that it has partnered with BetterPT, a healthcare technology platform company renowned for providing end-to-end digital connectivity between physical therapists (PT), patients and physicians.
As the adoption of MEND’s clinical nutrition products continues to grow in orthopedics by leading hospitals, the company has begun working with national physical therapy practices. “We’re impressed with BetterPTs approach, their reach and the rapid growth of their Better Telehealth platform” says MEND founder and CEO Eziah Syed, “now more than ever we’re understanding the enormous potential of telehealth and the need to bring evidence based nutrition into medicine.”
Physical therapists are increasingly utilizing MEND as a clinical tool to support patient healing and outcomes. The American Physical Therapy Association has recognized the importance of nutrition in enhancing patient outcomes and put nutrition into scope of practice. MEND has been investing heavily in research and randomized studies focused on clinical nutrition for orthopedics and solutions that make it easy for orthopedic surgeons and physical therapists to utilize in practice.
“We’re impressed with MEND’s science, the caliber of their hospital partners and fully support the mission to bring evidence based nutrition into orthopedics and physical therapy” says BetterPT CEO Greg Peters. “We’re proud to make MEND our exclusive clinical nutrition brand and help get it to more and more clinicians and patients to help improve outcomes and well-being.”
