Health Equity at RWJBarnabas Health
Being a healthier New Jersey starts with greater health equity.
Delivering solutions to address inequity in health and health care.
As care providers, we see firsthand how differences in access to quality
care and differences in socio-economic conditions can affect the health
of individuals and entire neighborhoods. So we have been taking action!
We are addressing the socioeconomic conditions that impact the health of
individuals and we are in our communities providing health education and
programming, and connecting people with appropriate community resources.
Through initiatives such as
Wellness on Wheels
and connections with local farmers markets, we’re bringing fresh,
healthy foods to areas that are considered food deserts and other underserved
communities. We’re providing safe spaces to ensure that all patients
have access to high-quality care. As an anchor institution, we are committed
to developing career ladders for our local workforce and supporting our
local businesses
A community is only as strong as its least healthy residents, that is why
we are in more underserved areas than any other health system in the state,
and we will keep working to bring equitable care to all communities in
the state of New Jersey.
