Silicon Valley District - California Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

It is unconscionable that access to medical nutrition therapy is not covered for seniors with chronic diseases -- despite the evidence of it's effectiveness. I am committed to changing this, will you join me? 📣 This Congress members of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the public, and patients have sent almost 30,000 communications in support of the MNT Act 🎉. It is easy to take action and even better to include a short story in your message. Can you lend a helping 🤚 ? #ACTnowforMNT ➡ https://lnkd.in/egYqEK2b
