History of the North Dakota HIEFSS / ND DMA / ND ANFP
HIEFSS (Hospital Institution Educational Food Service Society) was organized in April of 1969 at Dakota Hospitals in
Fargo, ND. The society was formed to aid hospitals and other nursing facilities to better meet the individual nutritional
needs of patients, residents, students, etc. The main objectives of the society were to promote improved nutrition and
improve practices in food service in schools, hospitals, and other institutions that provide foods to individuals and groups.
In 1984 the organization HIEFSS became the North Dakota Dietary Managers Association. On January 1, 2012 Dietary
Managers Association changed its name to Association of Nutrition & Foodservice Professions (ANFP).
