Observed annually on the second Wednesday in March, National Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day celebrates the contributions of these true medical professionals. Please help us recognize these wonderful stewards of healthy eating!
Our Dedicated Registered Dietitian Nutritionists provide the most advanced and current nutrition information available to their patients. They are experts in food and nutrition whose training qualifies them to support a variety of patient needs. Whether they work in a hospital, school, long-term care facility, or sports facility, RDNs provide patient care that may include meal planning, nutritional counseling, assessments, tracking progress, and more. Outside their core patient care, RDNs also promote wellness in public forums as well.
As dedicated professionals, RDNs put patient care first and continue their education throughout their careers. Their commitment helps patients to meet their health goals or understand their disease better.
