The contributions and capabilities of dietetics

professionals in serving people from every segment

of society represent ADA’s recipe for success. The

American Dietetic Association and its 68,000

members are the nation’s acknowledged leaders in

providing nutrition-related health services to the

public. Increasingly, ADA is extending its unique

expertise and expanding its presence – on the

Internet; in the news media; to corporations, gov-

ernment agencies, Congress and state legislatures;

educators; and other nonprofit organizations. We

are drawing upon ADA’s traditional strengths to

confront the leading health challenges of today and

tomorrow: obesity, genetics, biotechnology and more.

The Experts

Since the American DieteticAssociation’s founding in 1917,ADA members have built theirnational reputation on providingoutstanding patient care and clientservice, constantly adapting theirexpertise to fit changing times andalways dedicated to helping peoplemake the best food and lifestylechoices. Nowadays, millions of consumers seek reliable solutionsin their fast-paced lives — such as one-stop shopping for food and meals that take just minutes to prepare. ADA’s most recentnationwide nutrition trends survey found that the public ranks registered dietitians on a par with physicians as Americans’most-trusted sources of food andnutrition information.

In the past year, ADA has recorded more than

3 billion media impressionsthrough hundreds of

interviews broadcast overradio, television and

the Internet.

Connecting with Consumers

Consumers know the AmericanDietetic Association is their bestsource for timely, accurate food andnutrition information. Print, broadcastand electronic journalists routinely rely on ADA for story ideas and expertcommentary on top food and nutritionissues; ADA spokespeople haveappeared on NBC’s “Today” show 15times in the past year alone. PresidentSusan Borra was interviewed one-on-one by Sam Donaldson for an ABCNews Internet broadcast. ADA’s 2001National Nutrition Month® activitiesreceived twice as much news mediacoverage than in 2000. Through the Journal of the American DieteticAssociation, the most widely read peer-reviewed journal in the dieteticsfield; the Association’s consumer andtrade books and publications; andposition statements issued regularlyon the full range of nutrition andhealth issues, ADA communicates itsscience-based messages and philoso-phy to all Americans. In August, TV’s“Jeopardy!” featured ADA as the expertsource for a question on the nutritionalneeds of vegetarians.

ADA’s Web site,www.eatright.org, is one

the of world’s most popularhealth and nutrition sites.

During a recent month, the site received nearly250,000 unique visits.

ADA serves on the national steering committee setting the future courseof the government’s “5 A Day for Better Health” program, which aims toincrease Americans’ consumption of fruits and vegetables. ADA also iscommitted to increasing the diversity of the dietetics profession. Undercontract from the federal Health Resource Services Administration, ADAhas developed a program to mentor students from underrepresented ethnic groups into dietetics careers. The program could serve as a modelfor other health professions.

MonumentalAchievement

Years of effort paid off in December2000 when Congress passed legisla-tion that, for the first time, permitsdietetics professionals to be reimbursed under Medicare forproviding medical nutrition therapyfor patients with diabetes and kidney disease. Passage of the MNTbill is a monumental achievementfor the nation. Medical nutritiontherapy has been proven effective in treating and controlling a numberof other diseases and conditionsincluding stroke, heart disease andhigh cholesterol. ADA is workingwith members of Congress and theWhite House to pass the MedicareMNT Amendments Act of 2001,which would expand the list of conditions for which dieteticsprofessionals could be reimbursedfor providing MNT.
