The mission of Health Camp of New Jersey – HCNJ is to offer health awareness, chronic diseases screening and prevention education and counseling by providing diagnostic services such as blood test, EKG, specialty consultations and other medical testing for uninsured and underinsured individuals at the regularly scheduled health fairs in the communities throughout the New Jersey since its inception in 1998.

The vision of HCNJ is to enhance quality of life for individuals who do not have medical insurance, who are underinsured or cannot afford basic medical, dental and mental health screenings and follow-up for abnormal findings and provide timely intervention to reduce long term complications and save lives.

HCNJ provides health screening for early detection and disease prevention of medical abnormalities including but not limited to chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiac diseases, various types of cancer, eye disorders such as glaucoma and diabetes retinopathy and mental health conditions. The health screening is being conducted via health fairs in New Jersey several times a year at temples, schools or community centers. The screening is open to all individuals above the age 40 who are uninsured or underinsured but is not limited to the Indian community.

HCNJ future objectives and goals are to provide follow-up services, consultations, vaccinations and other outpatient services to communities by opening up a Community Health Center in New Jersey by December 2026 or earlier.
