Every year in the month of March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics creates a campaign to encourage informed food choices and facilitate healthy eating habits.
RDNs play a major role in shaping the public’s food choices and improving its overall nutritional status, working in conjunction with other healthcare professionals to treat persons with illnesses or injuries. RDNs are an integral part of healthcare and foodservice management teams. We are delighted to celebrate all registered dietitian nutritionists on March 10, 2021, RDN Day!
