This resolution expresses Senate support for designating the week of September 8 through September 12, 2025, as "Malnutrition Awareness Week." Its primary goal is to raise public awareness and promote the prevention and treatment of malnutrition, a significant problem affecting all ages and demographics in the United States. The resolution recognizes the vital contributions of registered dietitian nutritionists, healthcare providers, social workers, caregivers, and various agencies in combating this condition. The resolution highlights the importance of existing federal nutrition programs, such as those under the Older Americans Act and federal child nutrition initiatives, advocating for increased funding for these critical services. It also acknowledges the crucial role of community-based organizations, food banks, and partnerships with healthcare providers in addressing malnutrition in underserved areas. Furthermore, the resolution encourages the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to implement the new Malnutrition Care Score and emphasizes the importance of healthy food access for children and medical nutrition therapy for vulnerable populations.
