New Jersey stands at a critical crossroads.

As one of the nation's wealthiest states and a hub for healthcare innovation, it has the resources to lead. Yet profound disparities persist.

3.5x more likely — Black infants dying before their first birthday.
750K+ — Black women & girls in New Jersey

ROUNDTABLE FOCUS AREAS

01 — Health Across the Life Course: Prevention Opportunities. Identify where earlier intervention could significantly improve health outcomes for Black women and girls.
