Clinical Nutrition Manager Rachel Hodelin-Wetzel, MSRD, believes that, "There is no better time than National Nutrition Month to step into good nutrition." Toward that end, Hodelin- Wetzel has scheduled a Community Nutrition Day for Tuesday, March 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Meditation Room of Peninsula Center for Extended Care and Rehabilitation. Nutrition Day is open to everyone in the community who wants to learn more about eating healthy for life. There will be lectures on "portion distortions"; healthy eating, and cooking tips for preparing more nutritious meals, and a cooking demonstration. Additionally, fun games are planned for the event including Nutrition Jeopardy and Bingo, with prizes and a raffle. In-house, the Nutrition Department treated the Hospital Center staff to a selection of specially prepared healthconscious menu items daily. In addition, on Monday, March 10 - National Nutrition Day - the hospital's dieticians welcomed one and all into the Executive Dining Room where all employees had the opportunity to ask questions specific to their personal dietary needs. Body fat analysis (BMI) screenings were offered for those wanting to keep a check on their cardiovascular health and nutritious snacks were served.
