MAW25: United Against Malnutrition

Nutrition Care Is a Patient Right

Malnutrition Awareness Week^TM is an annual campaign created by ASPEN in 2012. Our goals include:

Educating healthcare Professionals

to screen, detect, and treat malnutrition early in patients.

Encouraging patients and consumers

to discuss their nutrition status with their healthcare providers.

Engaging with legislators and policymakers

to highlight that malnutrition is a public health issue that raises costs and leads to poor health outcomes.

Malnutrition Awareness Week_^TM is a mark of the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN).
