Pediatrics

Do you know what a CSP is?

In 2005, Betsy Hjelmgren received her CSP credential. CSP is short for Certified Specialist in Pediatric nutrition. To achieve this credential, a dietitian must work more than 2,000 hours in the field of pediatric nutrition (Betsy has logged well over 12,000) and pass a national board exam administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
 
Betsy Hjelmgren is one of only four CSP’s in the state of Illinois currently in private practice. For over a decade, Betsy has worked in the pediatric nutrition field, working with literally thousands of children at Children's Memorial Hospital, Rush Presbyterian-St. Luke's Medical Center Children's Hospital and as the founder of Feed To Succeed, LLC. As a mother of two, Betsy also puts into practice at home what she teaches to her clients!
