Free Webinar!
Thanks to the generous support of Hormel Health Labs, we will be offering a free 1 hour webinar to provide information and resources to assist you during this difficult time.
As new information emerges daily about COVID-19, we must keep current with the most recent “best practice” and credible information to prevent and manage nutritional care of our patients/residents/clients.

After attending this session attendees will be able to:
- Identify key resources for “best practice” in nutrition and food safety for effective implementation
