I help the American Heart Asso generally every year in sending out neighborhood letters regarding heart tips and soliciting funds for the organization. I think it's an excellent cause. We have heart disease in my family.

RDs in the Field  
HMC LogoSam Ousey, RD, VP of Operations spoke at the CAHF DON conference in February on the topic of "Quality Improvement and Dietary Regulations". She discovered that there is a substantial interest in facilities being survey ready.
 
RDs in the field have the opportunity to spot check, find potential survey issues and alert facilities of potential problem areas. As an RD you are in a position to help the facility, as well as continue to build upon the reputation of RD excellence that you share with other HM Composite RDs.
 
Please check the left column in the newsletter for Survey Alerts.
