The Community Outreach program is a statewide initiative which provides
community outreach, advocacy and marketing support to New Jersey’s Federally
Qualified Health Center (FQHCs) to assist in enrolling New Jersey’s
underinsured and underserved populations into federally-funded programs such
as Medicaid, SCHIP and Medicare.
The Community Outreach program consists of a statewide public education campaign
to promote public awareness of the FQHCs as a health care safety net for New
Jersey’s underserved populations. In addition, support and training is provided
to each FQHC to develop a localized approach for marketing and outreach and
enrollment strategies.
Through the Community Outreach program, NJPCA advocates for state funding that
allows centers to work within their communities to more comprehensively address
the holistic needs of individuals and families through FQHCs. Furthermore,
through community outreach, NJPCA works to increase recognition of FQHCs in
their important community role, beyond the practice of medicine as well as
develop public relations efforts aimed at consumers and legislators promoting
the value of FQHCs.
