Recorded Webinar: Comfort, Compassion, and End of Life Nutrition Care

This joint Today's Dietitian and Becky Dorner & Associates webinar was presented on Thursday, September 22, 2022 from 2-3 p.m. ET.

It’s common for patients and families to avoid difficult and often emotional decisions about end-of-life nutrition care until the situation requires it. In many cases, nutrition care professionals are involved in helping patients and their families make those decisions.  

Join Liz Friedrich, MPH, RD, CSG, LDN, FAND, NWCC, for a webinar that will outline options for RDs who are counseling patients on end-of-life nutrition care. Liz will discuss the risks and benefits of aggressive nutrition intervention at the end of life and provide information to help nutrition care professionals understand the factors that help formulate an individual’s end-of-life nutrition care decisions. This webinar is worth 1.0 CDR-approved ethics credit; register today!*
