AMWA is participating in the upcoming White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. We held several internal and external listening sessions to gather input from our members on the pillars of the upcoming conference, which were shared with the White House team. Through our newly formed health and nutrition committee, AMWA will promote educational programming that increases awareness of the impact of nutrition on health and disease and the role of food as medicine in the care of patients.
