Did you know that 32 to 40% of patients across all healthcare settings are malnourished?

Med Center Health is serving as an ambassador for Malnutrition Awareness Week, an event hosted by the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN). As an ambassador, all Med Center Health employees can participate in free continuing education (CE) programs designed to improve care for patients with malnutrition.
