Attention all dietitians, the New York State Senate bill passed the Therapeutic Order Writing for RDs! We need your help and the time is short!

Our current focus is on Assembly Members and we only have until the second week of November to get the bill passed in the Assembly before we need to start over.

• GNYDA clinical nutrition and DI/DPD leaders: please show the video at staff and student meetings!
• GNYDA members meet with your Assembly Member by the second week of November – this is critical to our profession!

Here are some documents to help you through the process:

• Easy Step-by-Step Directions to Meet with Your Elected Official
• NYSAND TDO Initiative Video and pdf of slides
• TDO Summary for Legislators 2021v3
• TDO Cheat Sheet
• TDO FAQ 3-2021
