The Health Care Association of New Jersey (HCANJ) is an organization representing long term care providers who believe that the individuals served are entitled to a supportive environment in which professional and compassionate care is delivered. This belief compels HCANJ and its members to advocate for individuals who, because of social needs, disability, trauma, or illness, require services provided in a long term care setting, while also advocating for the long term care provider community.

An integral part of HCANJ’s vision is to demonstrate leadership by identifying and communicating good practice models to the long term care field. HCANJ works to influence society and government to invest in the well-being of elderly and disabled individuals and to assure access to long term care. HCANJ is committed to developing necessary and reasonable public policies which balance economic and regulatory principles to support quality care and quality of life. HCANJ is dedicated to professionalism and ethical behavior among all who provide long term care, thus earning the confidence and trust of the public.

HCANJ  has met the lobbying, research and policy needs of long term care providers and has advocated for the people they serve for over six decades. Membership is open to nursing, subacute care, assisted living, adult day health care, comprehensive personal care and residential health care facilities.

HCANJ’s proven advocacy program has helped shape legislative policy in New Jersey and throughout the nation. HCANJ clarifies issues and bridges the bureaucratic and political gap for our members. Our aggressive government affairs program advocates for long term care providers and consumers and is actively involved in the development of laws and regulations to ensure that members’ interests are advanced and protected. 

A not-for-profit organization, HCANJ is supported by member dues and is governed by an Executive Board that is elected by the members-at-large.
