Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children's Hospital of New Jersey reach out to neighbors in countless ways.
In addition to providing comprehensive health care services, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of New Jersey (NBI and CHoNJ) are always reaching out to the community—from honoring local heroes to providing education in healthy living and more. Here are just a few of the recent events at which we celebrated our community.
They are the champions:
NBI and CHoNJ administrators and staff, along with Hillside High School alumni, hosted a pep rally in January to celebrate the Hillside Comets football team’s undefeated season and second win in the Central Jersey Group II Section State Championship.
Celebrating Black History Month:
New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Sheila Y. Oliver delivered the keynote address at NBI and CHoNJ’s annual Black History Month celebration. She is the first woman of color to serve in statewide elected office in New Jersey. The afternoon celebration also included a moving recitation of an excerpt from the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Mountaintop speech, delivered by Master Hilton Rawls III. Several employees were recognized for their commitment to providing high-quality, safe care and an excellent patient experience.
Help for the homeless:
In honor of the life and legacy of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., NBI and CHoNJ partnered with Jersey Cares to provide First Night Kits for the Goodwill Rescue Mission in Newark. Employees assembled kits to benefit the city’s homeless residents.
