Celebrating National Nutrition Month

Supporting diverse communities means providing nutritious dining to support the individual, recognizing cultural preferences, social determinants of health, and the unique needs of students, patients, and residents.

Honoring National Nutrition Month with Gratitude to Dedicated Dietitians

National Nutrition Month is our opportunity to salute the dietitians and other Sodexo experts who deliver exceptional services all year – working with diverse suppliers, executing sustainable practices, and ensuring the health of not only our consumers but also our planet and the communities in which we work.

Here are just a few of our dietitians from across North America.
