Nutrition Care Is a Patient Right
Malnutrition Awareness WeekTM is an annual campaign created by ASPEN in 2012. Our goals include:
Educating healthcare Professionals
to screen, detect, and treat malnutrition early in patients through webinars and clinical resources.
Engaging with legislators and policymakers
to highlight that malnutrition is a public health issue that raises costs and leads to poor health outcomes through advocacy and public policy initiatives.
Malnutrition Awareness WeekTM is a mark of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN).
