Fran is a PhD, RDN/LDN with a passion for prevention health education. She believes that nutrition is the foundation of health and everyone has a right to healthy food and healthcare. She has a lifetime career in nutrition services, community health, education and development at home and abroad.
As a practicing health professional and community development professional, she understands the challenges and progress needed to not only screen, test and treat diabetes, obesity and other diseases but prevent them by improving access to healthy foods and promoting their consumption and a healthy lifestyle.
