About CHNJ
The Coalition for a Healthy NJ, coordinated by the NJPN, works to create healthier communities across New Jersey by building capacity among professionals and community members. Originally funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the Community Transformation Grant, the Coalition for a Healthy NJ set a goal to support public health efforts in order to prevent chronic diseases, promote healthier lifestyles, reduce health disparities and control health care spending. Using the framework set by the National Prevention Strategy, the Coalition connects current partnerships and local coalitions that exist throughout the state so that public health works more effectively and efficiently to improve health.
Our Partners
The Coalition for a Healthy NJ includes partners from a variety of organizations, agencies and associations, including individuals from non-profit organizations, associations and state and local government agencies. These individuals represent professionals and their coalitions from throughout the state and statewide organizations covering each area outlined in the seven priority areas defined by the National Prevention Strategy.
