With over 20 years of experience innovating, designing, and launching award-winning wellness programs across the largest healthcare system in New Jersey, Barbara Bergen Mintz, MS, RDN, CPT, CANC, has overseen initiatives that address key social determinants of health in and around diverse communities. Her experience working as an outpatient nutrition counselor in Newark as well as in hospital administration, has allowed her to work closely and collaboratively with key partners both within and outside of hospital walls.

A pioneer in her field, and recipient of numerous accolades such as The American Hospital Association NOVA Award for Community Outreach, and a three-time winner of the New Jersey Hospital Association Community Outreach Award, Barbara believes that everyone has the right to healthy food and evidence-based information about those choices. She feels strongly that being healthy means being in balance, both within our bodies and minds as well as our relationship with our surroundings. Our connection to others, our communities, and the earth all help us to be in balance.
