Our next Call-A-Dietitian Day is on Friday, March 19, 2010 from 2:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. EST (appointments are in 20 minute increments).

If you have general nutrition questions, Mark Rifkin, MS, RD, LDN, will be available then. To reserve a 20-minute time slot, please email the VRG office at [email protected] or call (410) 366-8343.

Please be advised that these sessions are not individualized nutritional counseling. Such advice should only be provided through direct in-person contact with a qualified health professional. There is no charge, but if you do commit, please call on time. Otherwise you are taking someone else’s spot.
