“NutriCore Northeast would be a self-managed and ultimately self-sustaining not-for-profit corporation existing in Pennsylvania working in a cooperative research and development agreement with the United States Department of Agriculture to provide a 50-year road map assessing progress toward a healthy and fit populace. Additionally, Geisinger Rural Aging Study is a USDA Agricultural Research Service cohort study of 21,646 rural older Pennsylvanians that would assist them with proper dietary intake as well as formulate a longitudinal nutrition database. I am hopeful that we can work together to consider these requests as you complete action on the bill.”
