Join Us
As a nonpartisan coalition, Defeat Malnutrition Today is working to advance the fight against malnutrition in older adults through advocacy and federal policy work. We are a diverse alliance of over 100 national, state, and local stakeholders and organizations, including community, healthy aging, nutrition, advocacy, healthcare professional, faith-based, and private sector groups.
Our work in the past has focused on malnutrition quality measures, national and state legislation affecting older adult malnutrition, and federal regulations related to older adult malnutrition. One of our biggest projects was the development of a National Blueprint: Achieving Quality Malnutrition Care for Older Adults.
Organizational membership consists of being placed on our website, counted among our members, and being placed on our policy mailing list. You may participate as much or as little as you like in our advocacy and policy work. It is free to join. To join as an organization, please fill out this form.
Defeat Malnutrition Today receives support from Abbott.
