Welcome to Dietetics in Health Care Communities (DHCC) and the DHCC Web site

Greetings to all DHCC members (both new and long-time) and prospective members!Cyndi

Welcome to the new Dietetics in Health Care Communities (DHCC) Web site!  As I begin my year as Chair of DHCC I am struck by all the changes in our profession and all that are still coming!  Nothing in life is static!

Your Executive Committee (EC) is very excited with the new look of our Web site.  We hope that you find it easier to access information that you need.  A special thank you to the Web site Committee who put in long hours making this possible.  The changes in this website are designed to make your search for information much easier, to facilitate the purchase of DHCC materials, webinars and programs faster and to connect you to other members within our practice group.  The Web site will continue to be updated as we move forward, our goal is to archive newsletters, programs, webinars so that you can have access to them in the future.  We will have a retrieval method for this material so that your search for information will easier and quicker.

We encourage your input into this new Web site.  Our goal is to make it the resource you go to first.

We are all looking forward to the ADA Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo (FNCE) to be held in San Diego, California September 24 – 27, 2011.  As always, DHCC has great opportunities for you.  We hope that you will be able to join us!
