Office of Community Health

Robert Wood Johnson Medical School has a clearly stated commitment to the improvement of community health and community service as one of our four core missions. The Office of Community Health has responsibility for the development, implementation, and oversight of many of the school's community health initiatives.

The most prominent community health activity is the Eric B. Chandler Health Center, a federally qualified community health center operated by Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and the Eric B. Chandler Community Board, as well as the Homeless and Indigent Populations Health and Outreach Project (HIPHOP), the Healthier New Brunswick initiative, and New Brunswick Community Interpreter Project.

The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health supports our faculty in carrying out the mission of the Office of Community Health. Many of the institutes, centers, and departments throughout the medical school also support our commitment to community health and are deeply involved in community health activities.
