Changes On the Frontlines

We certainly miss Kaitlin Hammond, RD, the previous Nutrition Education Manager, who has moved out of town. Of course, nutrition education must go on! Please redirect requests to Katherine Lindholm, RD, the new Nutrition Education Manager.

We would also like to welcome Sarah Bensinger to the Nutrition Education Department as the Nutrition Education Coordinator. Sarah is a recent graduate of Texas Woman’s University, where she earned a B.A. in Dietetics and Institutional Administration. She is passionate about nutrition and looks forward to making a change in her community.
