• Appointed to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics PAC Board
  Kelly is now one of the key national advocates shaping nutrition-related healthcare policy in Washington, D.C. Her personal goal: expand Medicare coverage to include medical nutrition therapy (MNT) beyond diabetes and kidney disease—so seniors 65+ can access dietitian care for a broader range of health conditions.

• Verus Rx Partnership Launch (Effective June 1st)
  Kelly’s Choice is now partnered with Verus Rx, a pharmacy benefits manager (PBM) with a mission to reduce prescription costs through proactive nutrition and wellness education. This new collaboration empowers worksite wellness initiatives with real results and ROI.

• Featured in Major Media
  Kelly was recently quoted in the Washington Post, and continues to be recognized as a go-to expert by Fox News, among other top outlets. Through these platforms, she’s delivering nutrition education to the public at scale.

• Corporate Wellness Growth
  Kelly’s team just delivered a major mental health and nutrition presentation for Ernst & Young (EY) and are now expanding across the East Coast—aiming to roll out globally. Organizations are integrating Kelly’s Choice into their employee wellness strategy more than ever before.

• Big Wins in School Nutrition
  Through the Nutrition Education for All Foundation, Kelly’s Choice is entering a new phase with BOCES in New York State. This includes delivering COSER-approved nutrition education services to students, teachers, and school support staff. A recent presentation to 200 administrators sparked powerful conversations on food, focus, behavior, and mental well-being.

• Expand CPT Codes for Dietitians
  Improve billing options and reimbursement to give registered dietitians the tools they need to serve more people—especially underserved Medicare patients.

• Food as Medicine for All
  From school systems to senior care, Kelly is advocating for nutrition to be a standard part of every care plan—not a luxury or an afterthought.
