Skilled Nursing Company Celebrates Registered Dietitian Nutritionists Day on March 10
ROCKVILLE CENTRE, NY – The Bay Health and Rehabilitation Centers are pleased to recognize its Registered Dieticians (RDNs) for their dedicated service to our Patients and Residents in honor of Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day, which takes place on March 10, and celebrates the contributions and expertise that these nutrition experts provide.
“Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are important Care Team Members in each of our skilled nursing facilities who help our Patients and Residents develop nutritional meal plans that address numerous health-oriented concerns,” said Corina Krueger, Senior Vice President of Operations for Champion Care, which operates The Bay Health and Rehabilitation Centers. “We appreciate all of the hard work our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists do every day to ensure provide healthy delicious meals in our communities.”
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists must meet strict academic and professional requirements, and work with members of each facility’s food service Team to ensure the proper nutrition of the older adults in each of The Bay Health and Rehabilitation Centers.
March is also National Nutrition Month, when the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics encourages people to make informed food choices and develop sound eating and physical activity habits that they can follow all year long.
“Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are an important part of our health care Team,” said Mitzie Cannon, Senior Vice President for Clinical Operations for Champion Care. “Our RDNs help ensure our Patients and Residents reduce their risk of chronic diseases by providing medical nutrition therapy.”
Krueger and Cannon said on Thursday this week, The Bay Health and Rehabilitation Centers will be presenting a special gift to each of our RDNs to thank them for their service.
