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.

If you are currently doing work related to one or more of the seven priority areas, join us!

As a coalition partner, you will:

• Have opportunities to network with other professionals doing similar work in other counties
• Be invited to attend meetings and free trainings that NJPN offers related to the National Prevention Strategy
• Access the latest information from CDC and other public health sources by following us on Facebook and Twitter
• Have the opportunity to work with multi-disciplinary organizations to create positive change in your local community

NJPN is excited to introduce the New Jersey Public Health Coalitions Working Smarter Searchable Database!  This statewide database is designed to help coalitions across the state collaborate, maximize their resources, and learn from each other.

Visit https://chnj.njpn.org/searchable-database/ to access the database and search for coalitions working in your geographic area or with similar focus areas working around the state. And if you’re a coalition member and don’t see your coalition listed, add it to the database so your colleagues across the state are aware of the work you’re doing locally! Visit our website today to start working smarter! This important resource was made possible with funding and support from the New Jersey Health Initiatives, a project of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
