ForwardWebinar: Rewriting the Recipe: Confronting Ageism and Advancing Age-Friendly Nutrition Care
As the older adult population grows, health care teams must evolve to meet increasingly complex needs. Yet ageism—both implicit and structural—continues to limit the quality and effectiveness of care older adults receive.
Join Jocelyn Protopappas, MSW, MPH, RDN, CDCES, on Wednesday, June 24, from 2-3:15 p.m. ET, for a timely session that challenges outdated assumptions about aging. Jocelyn will introduce the Age-Friendly Health System’s 4Ms Framework: Mentation, Mobility, Medications, and What Matters.1 Through real-world clinical, community, and interprofessional examples, this webinar explores how to integrate age-friendly principles into everyday nutrition practice.
Participants will gain practical strategies to reduce bias, assess social determinants of health, strengthen client engagement, and collaborate more effectively across care teams—ultimately delivering nutrition care that honors dignity, autonomy, and what matters most to older adults.
Learning Objectives
After completing this continuing education activity, health care professionals will better be able to:
- Identify common forms of implicit and structural ageism that impact nutrition care for older adults.
- Explain the components of the Age-Friendly Health System’s 4Ms Framework and their relevance to nutrition practice.

- Develop actionable approaches to deliver inclusive, dignity-centered care that aligns with the values and needs of older adults.
- Implement care-team based strategies that promote collaboration and communication and result in improved patient outcomes.
