Congressionally Directed Spending for Construction Projects - Newark Community Health Centers, Inc. (NCHC) has been standing strong in the Greater Newark, Essex County community for 35 years. We continue to grow and have redefined our strategic plan to increase community access to quality health care, reduce health care disparities and improve our financial position. NCHC has been awarded level three NCQA Patient Centered Medical Home 2011 recognition and is one of the largest providers of comprehensive primary care services for the uninsured and medically underserved populations in New Jersey’s most densely populated cities. NCHC provides obstetrical and gynecological care, pediatric care, adolescent medicine services, internal medicine, geriatric care, dental care, a comprehensive HIV/Aids program, substance abuse evaluation and referrals, mental health counseling, podiatry, optometry and nutritional counseling. We take pride in our accomplishments and we are very excited about our second federally funded renovation. We are committed and dedicated to providing quality health care to our patients during this difficult financial era. NCHC’s goal is to meet the health care needs of the communities in which we serve and help people live stronger, healthier and happier lives. In 2022, we served 45,431 patients through 142,517 encounters, which includes telehealth encounters. This project is for the construction of a new health center on 235 Main Street Orange NJ. The proposed health center will have 10 exam rooms and 2 dental operatories for patient care. Construction will commence as soon as the due diligence is completed. The first floor of the building, covering approximately 20,000 Square feet will be renovated and will serve as a full-service site providing Family Practice, Dentistry, Pediatrics, Adult Medicine and Oral Health services. Approximately 43% of the population of Orange, NJ is low-income, with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. NCHC continues to be the sole provider of primary care within this area, serving the uninsured and underserved within this community. The renovation of this new site will provide better access to and a more comfortable setting for our patients.
