Introduced by Sens. Murphy and Grassley, S.Res. 716 designates October 5 through October 9, 2020 as Malnutrition Awareness Week and acknowledges RDNs for their efforts to prevent malnutrition. In addition, this resolution supports emergency federal funding for federal nutrition programs to combat malnutrition. Urge Congress to support increased access to nutrition care for seniors! Take action today! 2. Support Diversity in Nutrition & Dietetics in Allied Health Professions The Academy has partnered with the National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education to encourage Congress to provide $300 million in funding for minority serving institutions that would support allied health professions programs including nutrition and dietetics. 3. Take Action Today on the Medical Nutrition Therapy Act of 2020 Rates of diet-related chronic disease continue to rise, and many of these conditions are now contributing to poor outcomes for COVID-19 patients. Expanded access to nutrition care is especially important for minority populations that have long faced chronic disease health disparities due to socioeconomic inequalities and reduced access to health care, healthful foods and safe places to be active. Urge your members of Congress to support the Medical Nutrition Therapy Act of 2020!
