Action Alerts from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Urge Your Senators to Support Obesity Prevention and Treatment

The bipartisan Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of 2017 (H.R. 1953; S. 830) in both the U.S. House and Senate will allow a registered dietitian nutritionist or other qualified nutrition professional to provide intensive behavioral counseling services for Medicare beneficiaries with obesity. Let your members of Congress know where you stand and urge them to support this bill before the end of the year to improve health care access and reduce health care costs.

Urge Members of Congress to Support Malnutrition Prevention and Treatment

Ask Congress to support the role of RDNs and NDTRs in the prevention and treatment of malnutrition and encourage your members to support policies that better align with these goals. Take action today to build congressional support for: 1) adoption of meaningful malnutrition quality measures; 2) inclusion of malnutrition in chronic disease legislation and 3) expansion of public access to malnutrition screening and services provided by RDNs and NDTRs.
