HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES
The Jersey City Department of Health and Human Services, HHS, delivers innovative, community-focused public services to residents across the city. Guided by a commitment to equity, access, and sustainability, HHS uses a Health in All Policies approach, recognizing that health is shaped by the conditions where we live, work, learn, and age. This citywide framework helps us tackle the root causes of health disparities and informs decision-making across all city departments.
Through its divisions, HHS tackles pressing challenges like food insecurity, chronic illness, and the opioid crisis through a robust portfolio of programs for children, seniors, immigrants, mothers and infants, cats and dogs, and vulnerable residents.
From prevention and direct service delivery to grassroots engagement and cross-sector collaboration, HHS continues to redefine urban public health, working every day to champion equity, expand access, and drive innovation for a Healthier JC.
