Optimal nutrition status is essential to the wellbeing, health, independence and quality of life for older adults. What we eat and how we live have a major impact on the quality and length of life.

There will be concurrent workshops both days of the conference.
Target Audience Dietitians, nurses, care coordinators, health educators, Area Agency on Aging staff, senior center managers, nutrition service providers, caregivers and other professionals involved in providing care for older adults.
