Partners for Health

Join Hackensack Meridian Health for its Annual Community Block Party & Health Fair on Saturday, July 11, 2026, from 10 AM–2 PM at the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine.

This free event is open to the public and will feature health screenings, educational sessions, community resources, food, and activities for individuals and families.

Thank you to Table to Table for hosting the annual Partners for Good Conference! We appreciated learning more about SNAP and broader efforts to improve food access.

It was also great to connect with so many dedicated organizations—including The Waterfront Project Inc.—who are doing impactful work in our communities.

Looking forward to continuing this important work together!

Our Executive Director, Pam Scott, met with the Montclair Rotary Club to share more about Partners for Health’s mission and the impact of our work across the community. It was a valuable moment to engage with community members who are deeply invested in making a difference.

Thank you to the YMCA Of Montclair for hosting this meaningful conversation.

Partners for Health Foundation has signed onto two comment letters regarding a proposed rule from the U.S. Department of Education that would narrow the definition of which graduate programs qualify as “professional degrees” for federal student loan purposes. The rule would potentially limit borrowing for students pursuing degrees in fields such as nursing, public health, physician assistant studies, and social work—professions essential to the nation’s health workforce.

Finalizing this rule will result in reduced access to care, by making graduate education less affordable, disrupting health workforce pipelines, and creating obstacles for students to enter essential health and human-services professions.
