| 1 | Growth Assessment and Nutritional Intervention
among High-Risk Children in Rural Honduras:
A Partnership among the Graduate Programs in Human
Nutrition at Oregon Health & Science University, Medical
Teams International, and Predisan
Diane D. Stadler, PhD, RD, LD
This essay was one of two manuscripts to receive the 2010 Competitive Essay Award
by the Wimpfheimer-Guggenheim Fund for International Exchange in Nutrition,
Dietetics, and Management of the American Dietetic Association Foundation. |
| 2 | Chair's Corner
Beverly W. Henry, PhD, RD, LDN
To write this message I started
thinking about what will be happening
as you receive your copy of the
Summer PNPG Post. I am hoping for
many sunny days and blue skies to shine on us as we head
out and about with our work, fun, and family activities. For
me, I will be working with Mary Cornetta, MS, RD, LDN, as
she steps into the role of chair for this great group. |
| 4 | Failure to Thrive,
Gastroenterology and
Allergy SIG Update
Dominique Symonette, MS, RD, CDN
Greetings from the Failure to Thrive,
Gastroenterology & Allergy (FTGA) SIG!
Are there frequently asked questions and
"hot topics" patients, parents, and caregivers
often ask of you? |
| 5 | Legislative Update from
the Public Policy Corner
Michell Fullmer, RD, LDN, Meredith Carter, MS, RD
Didn't get to make it to Public Policy Workshop
this year? Not to worry—there is still
plenty that you can learn and do to move
the mission of PNPG and ADA forward! |
| 5 | Reasearch Ad Hoc
Committee Update
Cindy Fitch, PhD, RD
The Research Ad Hoc Committee was
formed to help PNPG meet its strategic
plan to support pediatric research activities.
Research activities are important
to guide and inform our clinical and
educational programs. |
| 6 | PNPG's Networks
Carol Parkman Williams, MS, RD, LD
For years DPGs have engaged in networking
with organizations that share
their common professional interests.
You may wonder, "what is a network?"
ADA defines a network as a relationship
between two organizations with the
goal of sharing information. |
| 7 | Infant Feedings: Guidelines
for Preparation of Human
Milk and Formula in Health
Care Facilities
Sandra Robbins, RD, CSP, LD, Robin Meyers, MPH, RD, LDN
The new edition of the Guidelines is
out! This edition culminates over two
years of work and includes a survey of
needs, literature review, and public policy
review and updates. The book has
been reviewed by PNPG members as
well as representatives from other disciplines,
and we now have consensus for
publication. The book is available from
ADA Publications. |
