OBSERVING NATIONAL NUTRITION MONTH®


Each year the month of March is reserved to promote nutrition education and spread awareness about making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. The National Nutrition Month® theme for 2016 is “Savor the Flavor of Eating Right,” which encourages everyone to take time to enjoy food traditions and appreciate the pleasures, great flavors and social experiences food can add to our lives. MANNA, in partnership with Presenting Sponsor Health Partners Plans, is committed to spreading awareness about nutrition all month. We will show appreciation for our Nutrition Department on Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day, observed March 6th, and by hosting Nourish (see below) on March 24th!

All are welcome to attend one or more of the sessions and the award presentation. Seminar seating is limited; RSVP is required.
