Hello to the group:
I'm a registered dietitian in Colorado, USA. I specialize in nutrition
therapy for older adults. I counsel, and conduct workshops on high
blood pressure, nutrition and stress, antioxidants & phytochemicals,
supplement use, food-medication interactions, and other areas.

I write and publish a monthly newsletter "Spotlight on Food--nutrition
news for people 60-plus" available as a mailed subscription, and via
e-mail (much cheaper!).

I couldn't do without it! I keep my books on computer, design overhead
transparencies for my workshops on Microsoft, write my newsletters on
Word Perfect, design brochures and flyers for my counseling and public
speaking; I use Medline to research special topics like osteoporosis and
Parkinson's Disease, and I belong to several listservs for health and
aging issues. I also belong to Dietitians Online via American Online and
can get answers to many questions by posting to the group.

My particular interest is in promoting health, wellness, and independent
living for older adults, especially low-income, rural, and minority
seniors. I do volunteer counseling at our local senior center, and I'm
doing diabetes education on a volunteer basis for low-literacy Hispanics
at their community center.

I'd love to hear from others who have used or designed needs assessments
or outcome evaluations for community health programs. I look forward to
great discussions!

Best regards,
