The VNA Health Group

A proud past. A compelling future.

A future that includes you.

 

For over 110 years, the VNA Health Group has served the needs of home health and hospice patients in our communities. In that time, we’ve grown to become an organization of 2500 dedicated employees in three states, a leader and innovator in health care, and an award-winning organization. For the last three years, we’ve been a certified Best Place to Work ®, we’ve been recognized by Fortune Magazine as a top provider for aging services, and many of our leaders have been awarded with distinction for their contributions to health care.

As a VNAHG employee, you’ll not only be joining a winning organization, but one that will help you achieve your personal and professional goals.

 

The WIC Program Nutritionist will be based out of our office in Neptune, NJ and is responsible for providing nutrition assessment and counseling to ensure WIC Program services are provided to eligible participants.
