Terry, Sr., President and Chief Executive Officer, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of New Jersey, along with Community Health and External Affairs leadership, joined Senator Booker for a powerful discussion on advancing efforts to address social determinants of health in New Jersey and to share our deep gratitude for the State’s partnership in these endeavors.
