Lily Correa is a registered dietitian who is passionate about public health & nutrition and firmly believes that the kitchen is the greatest tool from which to promote optimal health and wellness.

In 2019, after obtaining a certificate in health-supportive culinary arts studies at the Natural Gourmet Institute (NGI) in NYC, Lily joined the team that helped develop and launch NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue’s Lifestyle Medicine Program—an innovative, multidisciplinary healthcare team-based program to help patients reduce their cardiometabolic risk.

Lily now serves as the Director of Education & Training for the Office of Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine. The mission of the Office of Nutrition & Lifestyle Medicine is to the Bellevue Lifestyle Medicine Program model within NYC Health + Hospitals sites across all five boroughs of NYC, thereby increasing the reach of these potentially life-saving services to more high-risk communities throughout the city. To date, the expansion efforts have opened six new clinic sites that serve the five boroughs of NYC.
