Mary Ellen Metzger, R.D., L.D.Older adults want to stay healthy , active, and independent!
The Nutrition Department supports Heartland Senior Services' mission by providing life enriching opportunities to older adults and support to their families and caregivers through social engagement at congregate meals, home delivered heart healthy meals and nutrition education.
As a registered dietitian I want to help participants recognize that food and good nutrition are key components in successful aging. In addition to being nutritious food can also be fun and entertaining. At Heartland Senior Services we are confident that proper nutrition, along with physical activity, assists seniors in promoting their mental and physical factors of wellness.
Nutrition is an important component in treating and preventing disease. Perhaps you just have a dietary question, would like to set a wellness goal, or a disease or condition has completely changed your routine- let me help you. Contact me if you are interested in setting up an individual or group appointment for a nutrition counseling session. memetzger@hsservicesia.com
