dietitians presented at the galaxys
most prestigious conference, Stellar

awards for her research on
micronutrient composition of
parenteral and enteral nutrition for
patients on home nutrition

from world leaders in the field of
dietetics. We were also able to

outpatient referrals from
physicians and other members of
the health care team.
