FARMINGTON – Marcy Lawless, MaineHealth mountain regional manager for clinical nutrition services, is pleased to announce that Amanda Robbins, MS, RDN, LD, has joined the clinical nutrition team at Franklin.

Robbins completed her undergraduate and graduate degrees in food science and human nutrition, with completion of the dietetic internship from the University of Maine. She specializes in pediatric and maternal nutrition, though she works with all ages and disease states.
