PBS NewsHour's Susan Dentzer to speak at CRN conference

WASHINGTON — The Council for Responsible Nutrition on Wednesday announced that Susan Dentzer, health analyst at PBS NewsHour and senior policy adviser at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will speak during the closing “Breakfast With…” session at The Conference: CRN’s Annual Symposium for the Dietary Supplement Industry Nov. 5-8.

 

Dentzer will provide analysis on the current state of health care, drawing on her experience reporting on every public and private healthcare trend in recent memory to present, as well as a complete and concise picture of where we have been, where we are headed and the role of the dietary supplement and functional food industry in today’s landscape. Dentzer is an elected member of the Institute of Medicine, as well as a public trustee of the American Board of Medical Specialties and a member of the board of directors of Research!America.

 

“We’re excited to have Ms. Dentzer with us for the final session at The Conference, where, over breakfast, attendees will hear a provocative and forward-looking discussion of the current state of health care with insights they can take home and make a difference with,” said Steve Mister, CRN president and CEO. “We know there are health benefits and cost savings from dietary supplements that are yet to be realized by many U.S. populations at risk for disease, especially among those over 55 years old. The dietary supplement industry has so much to offer and Ms. Dentzer will help spark ideas for potential opportunities.”
