In Memory

John M. Kinney, MD
1921-2011

We remember and honor Dr. Kinney's tireless work, from World War II on, seeking better solutions for patient health, comfort, and survival. The International Awards in Nutrition will continue to be offered in his name in order to, in Dr. Kinney's words, "identify and support another generation of distinguished young investigators who will advance nutritional science and improve patient care."
