Research Symposiums

Malnutrition is a serious condition that affects about 45% of hospitalized adults. Up to two thirds of seniors admitted to hospital are moderately or severely malnourished.

In 2020, the DON Scientific Office hosted a research symposium and workshop on malnutrition in seniors. The event focused on hospital-to-home transitions, community supports, enhanced inpatient screening, and opportunities to combat malnutrition and address identified gaps in care.
