The Division of Community Health & Wellness shapes Jersey City's public health strategy, connecting residents to programs, resources, and initiatives that support healthier lives.
Jersey City is one of the most linguistically diverse cities in the country, with residents speaking over 70 languages. The Division uses public health data to guide its work and ensure resources reach the communities that need them most.
Our multilingual health educators are deployed based on where the need is greatest. Current data points to mental health and violence as the top health priorities in Wards A and F, and our educators have shifted their focus accordingly, bringing targeted programs and support directly into those neighborhoods.
By combining data-driven strategies with strong community partnerships, the Division works to build a Jersey City where every resident can be healthy, well, and thriving.
