Nourishing Change: The Power of RDs in Health, Policy & Patient Care

Nutrition is the foundation of health, yet it’s often sidelined in healthcare conversations. As Registered Dietitians, you have the expertise to change that! This engaging webinar will explore how nutrition and nutrition education can — and should — be integrated across the healthcare landscape. We’ll discuss how RDs can work within interprofessional teams to enhance patient outcomes, the evolving role of Food is Medicine initiatives and how dietitians can shape the future of nutrition-focused healthcare. Whether you’re working in a clinical setting, community health or policy, this session will empower you with practical strategies to ensure nutrition remains a key player in every care plan, health program and intervention. Let’s make nutrition the front and center of healthcare — where it belongs!
