GN First Annual SymposiumHealth Promotion across the Spectrum of Aging:a Gerontological Nutrition Perspective – July 18-19th, 2008 Please join us for the first Healthy Aging (HA) Dietetic Practice Group Symposium in Boca Raton, Florida. The theme and title of this event is Health Promotion across the Spectrum of Aging: a Gerontological Nutrition Perspective. Healthy Aging is in the spot light as the first wave of Baby Boomers approach the retirement years. Research, backed by a strong evidence base, is concluding in countless ways that nutrition is one of the key factors impacting disease management and prevention as well as in maintaining health during the aging process. With these facts as background, economic considerations for federal and state programs are positioning for prevention and an emphasis on choice moving from facility based to community based programs. Dietitians working in programs for older Americans need to be aware of these changes as well as new opportunities for nutrition care and professional growth. Conference objectivesParticipants will: * community based programs * government programs for older Americans * home health * adult day care programs * retirement and assisted living communities * Rehab and long term nursing care facilities * Alzheimer’s and memory care facilities Location: Boca Raton Resort and Club, Boca Raton Florida The Boca Raton Resort and Club is one of the most historic and unique landmarks in south Florida.
