Our History
In 1995, Dr. Donna Israel saw an opportunity. With a 12-year background in providing health and wellness services directly to employers as an employee benefit, she knew that both companies and employees could reap great rewards through high-quality nutrition counseling. To realize this opportunity, Dr. Israel joined forces with world-reknowned dietitian Dr. Carol Ireton-Jones, of the Ireton-Jones Equation used today around the world to estimate energy expenditure in critically ill patients.
PNT began contracting with home health agencies all over the country, and the benefits, both in reduced corporate costs and improved employee health, were immediate. Soon, PNT was the first dietitian-owned business in the United States to be accredited nationally and with commendation by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. PNT became the first dietitian-owned home healthcare business to be licensed by the Texas Department of Health and Human Services.
Beginning with a single client 14 years ago to today's list of Fortune 500 companies and thousands of individuals served, PNT's services extend into all specialties of dietetics and have even reached across the globe to Asia. Today's network of registered dietitians remains a core asset of the company and it continues to be a prime channel to serve corporations and individuals across the United States and internationally. We also offer product support for food and nutrition companies through this extensive registered dietitian network.
