Newark Community Health Center

Newark Community Health Center is a hospital in Newark, NJ. The center offers a full range of medical and dental services for children, adults, and seniors, with specialized support for diabetes, asthma, weight management, high cholesterol, and hypertension. Programs include the Centering Pregnancy initiative, the Healthy Start program, the Give Kids a Smile program, Diabetes Self-Management, confidential HIV testing, mammography, OB/GYN services, and free pregnancy testing through outreach to younger women. All centers participate in the 340B Drug Pricing Program for discounted prescriptions, and no patient is denied service because of an inability to pay. The center holds a rating of 4.00 based on 555 reviews. Founded on October 2, 1986 as a Federally Qualified Health Center, Newark Community Health Centers was established to address health disparities among uninsured and medically underserved populations in Newark and its surrounding cities. Today the organization operates seven centers across Newark, East Orange, Irvington, and Orange. In August 2015, the ribbon was cut on a renovated headquarters and medical complex at 741 Broadway in Newark's North Ward, a twelve-million-dollar facility built to accommodate more than 65,000 annual visits and to expand Obstetrics/Gynecology and Adult and Pediatric Dental care. The center is located on Ferry Street, with Market Street and Raymond Boulevard each about a tenth of a mile away. Lafayette Street Elementary School and the Lafayette Street Annex School are both within a fifth of a mile. The depth of review activity and the long history of nearly thirty years serving the Newark area reflect a health center that uninsured and medically underserved patients have relied on for primary and specialty care in one of the most populated regions in the country.
