All patients have the right to receive high quality care, and that includes nutrition support products as part of their care. At times, access to nutrition support products — such as medical foods — can be a significant challenge for patients. As a result, HNC raises awareness and works with key stakeholders to help overcome obstacles to patient access. We continue to work towards systematic changes that will foster innovation and utilize new science and discoveries, ultimately leading to higher quality healthcare, better patient outcomes, and improvements in overall patient health and nutrition.
HNC is an organization representing the manufacturers of nutrition support products, specifically enteral nutrition (EN) formulas, parenteral nutrition (PN) solutions, supplies and equipment. HNC member companies are committed to improving health by advancing policies that address and raise awareness of nutrition and its impact on patient outcomes and healthcare costs. This includes promoting nutritional screenings, diagnoses, assessments, and appropriate and timely clinical nutrition interventions while maintaining patients’ access to specialized nutrition support products and services throughout the continuum of care.
