Nutrition Month Highlights Good Eating Needs of Children During the Pandemic Written by Open Door Family Medical Center National Nutrition Month, held annually every March, has even greater meaning this year as it comes at a time when many people in NY’s Lower Hudson Valley, particularly children, continue to reel from the effects of a now year-old pandemic. Gina Devito, Director of Wellness Initiatives at Open Door Family Medical Center and a Registered Dietitian, reports a significant increase over the last year in the numbers of children and families they see suffering from food insecurity – defined as a lack of consistent access to adequate, affordable, and nutritious food. This is not surprising, as the population served by the Open Door, a Federally Qualified Health Center, has historically suffered from food insecurity. This has only intensified during Covid-19.
