Celebrating National Nutrition Month at Wayne Memorial Hospital

(Honesdale, PA March 11, 2026)…Discover the Power of Nutrition, that’s the theme this year for National Nutrition Month at Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) and across the country. During the month of March, everyone is encouraged to learn how to make informed food choices, develop and maintain healthy eating habits, and incorporate physical activity into their routine.

It’s an important component to patient care at WMH. Nutrition Manager Barbara Griggs-Pratt, MA, RD, LDN, and her staff provide inpatient and outpatient nutrition counseling and education, community outreach and weight management classes.

As part of the observation, there will be a basket raffle with fun and healthy prizes in the hospital cafeteria.“People enter by testing their nutrition knowledge and will have multiple opportunities to win,” explained Griggs-Pratt.

Nutrition has the power to help individuals and communities thrive. Stop by the display this month, in the glass concourse. Discover how food and beverage choices can help power your day, learn tips for adopting nutritious foods, and build healthy habits into your day to help you feel great now and in the future.
