Knoxville Registered Dietitian Earns National Nutrition Awards
Published: Thursday, November 12, 2009
Knoxville registered dietitian Susan Loy Brantley recently earned two national awards in recognition for the contribution she’s made in her field throughout her career. Brantley, the metabolic support coordinator with UT Medical Center’s Department of Pharmacy, received the 2009 Distinguished Nutrition Support Dietitian Award for Advanced Clinical Practice from the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) and the 2009 Distinguished Service Award from the Dietitians in Nutrition Support Practice Group of the American Dietetic Association.
This was the inaugural year for the ASPEN award. Trauma surgeon Dr. Brian J. Daley and registered dietitian Jayne Hillhouse, both of UT Medical Center, nominated Brantley for the honor.
“It was both exciting and humbling to receive this honor as it was a national recognition by colleagues in the area of nutrition support,” Brantley said. “I was touched that Jayne and Dr. Daley would consider me worthy for the nomination. The field of nutrition support has been my passion ever since the Department of Surgery at UT Medical Center made it such a high priority back in the mid 1980s.”
Brantley is a member and past officeholder in multiple professional organizations, including ASPEN, American Dietetic Association, Dietitians in Nutrition Support Practice Group, Tennessee Dietetic Association and the Knoxville District Dietetic Association. She earned both her degrees, a bachelor’s in Dietetics and a master’s in Nutrition Science, from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
Brantley, who began working at UT Medical Center 32 years ago, has lived in Knoxville her entire life. Brantley and her husband, Charles, have two grown children, Claire and Graham. The family attends Salem Baptist Church.
