National Nutrition Month® and Food Drive at Tufts Medical Center

Celebrate National Nutrition Month

Hosted by Frances Stern Nutrition Center 

Join us in the Tufts Medical Center Atrium Lobby for National Nutrition Month®, hosted by the Frances Stern Nutrition Center, and help support our community through a food drive benefiting the Boston Rescue Mission.

National Nutrition Month®, an annual campaign by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, celebrates informed food choices and healthy habits. This year’s theme, Discover the Power of Nutrition, highlights how nutrition fuels not only our own health, but the well-being of our communities. We invite you to discover how everyday food choices can power your day, strengthen healthy habits, and help ensure access to nutritious foods for those in need.
