We are seeking volunteers who are constituents in PA-11 or PA-16 to help us schedule meetings with Republican House Ways & Means Committee members to request co-sponsorship of the Medically Tailored Meals (MTM) bill. Food is Medicine is a 2026 priority area for the Academy, making this advocacy especially timely.

PA-11: Lancaster County and southern York County
PA-16: Northwest Pennsylvania, including Erie and surrounding counties

Why this matters: Republican co-sponsorship is essential to keep the MTM bill strongly bipartisan, strengthen committee momentum, and improve its chances of passage.

Volunteer role (we’ll support you):

Help request and schedule a meeting with the office

Join or support the meeting with our advocacy team

Use prepared talking points we provide

If you are a constituent in PA-11 or PA-16 and can help, please reply to rebeccaboova@gmail.com with your district and availability.

Honored to be featured by the Academy, on the same day I defend my doctoral dissertation 😁. Happy National nutrition month for sure!

👋 Say hello to Academy spokesperson Caroline Passerrello, MS, RDN, LDN!

🍌 Favorite way to fuel up in the morning: I start the day with a banana and espresso before a workout. After, I might have a whole-grain waffle with almond butter, oatmeal with walnuts, cereal with fruit and nuts, eggs and toast, whatever I'm in the mood for and have time to make/eat that day!

🍎 Benefits of working with a dietitian: Personalization. What you eat and why you eat it are unique to you; dietary recommendations can be tailored to your goals and a realistic plan to achieve them with the help of a registered dietitian.

🌍 Sustainability tip: Honor your hunger and fullness and start with smaller portions. If we only prepare what we can eat, we will reduce food waste and avoid the potential for eating beyond our nutrient needs.

Happy National Nutrition Month! The theme this year is such an important message. Happy to share more of my thoughts, along with respected colleagues, on “personalizing your plate” with Verywell
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

For National Nutrition Month, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is stressing the need to personalize your plate, eating the foods that work for you.
