Dietetics in Healthcare Communities of New Jersey

This organization is a volunteer group made up of Dietitians/Dietetic Technicians who either live or work in the state of New Jersey.

Our purpose is to establish a regular and frequent mechanism to keep dietitians aware of current issues and information relevant to their work and interests; to provide a greater visibility for the dietitian within the structure of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) and the national level of DHCC.

Our group is a member of the New Jersey Long Term Care Leader's Coalition. (NJLTCLC)

Licensure Update

New Jersey State Dietitian/Nutritionist Licensing Act has been signed by Governor Murphy. Although it is effective immediately, the scope of practice is effective one year from effective date. The New Jersey Academy is working with the licensing board. The Division of Consumer Affairs is the next step and will be writing the regulatory guidelines. If you have questions, updates will occur through the NJ Academy eblasts or you can contact our legislative chair, Sylvia Lacsina.
