March is Nutrition Month and today we celebrate Dietitians Day! This year’s theme, "Nourish to Flourish," highlights the powerful role nutrition plays in helping individuals and communities thrive.
Balanced nourishment supports not only physical health but also mental well-being, emotional resilience, and social and cultural connections.

Food can fuel energy levels, boost immunity, foster community, support emotional regulation and promote cognitive health.

Dietitians are passionate about helping others understand the value of food and nutrition.

We are so grateful for our local & area dietitians, as we continue to collaborate to ensure optimal health care is provided for you and your family.
