Minnesota Malnutrition Awareness

Thanks to advocacy efforts by our faculty and staff, Minnesota officially declared a recognition day for Malnutrition Awareness. Dietitians and the Nutrition Care Process are essential to the screening, assessment, and implementation of interventions to address malnutrition. Surprisingly, even in a developed nation like the US, an estimated 20-40% of adults are at risk for, or currently experiencing malnutrition. Our faculty and staff are #DriventoDiscover strategies to improve malnutrition assessment, reduce its prevalence in our communities, and educate future dietetic professionals in treatment and interventions.
