HPN Awareness Week

HPN or Home Parenteral Nutrition is when people receive their nutrients and calories, proteins, 

carbs, and fats through the intravenous route (IV) when they can't consume enough calories by 

mouth or through a tube feeding. 

​

People of all ages receive HPN at home - sometimes for a short time and others for a lifetime. 

Organizations supporting #hpnawarenessweek include: 

​

The Oley Foundation oley.org

The American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition nutritioncare.org

National Home Infusion Association nhia.org

Association for Vascular Access avainfo.org

 

Choice Parenteral Nutrition is dedicated to providing the best clinical care and support to people 

receiving HPN.
