Dr. Tushar B. Patel – President
Health Camp of New Jersey - HCNJ
From the Desk of the President
Since its inception in 1998, Health Camp of New Jersey (HCNJ) has remained committed to promoting health awareness, chronic disease prevention, and early detection through community-based healthcare initiatives for uninsured and underinsured individuals throughout New Jersey. Our mission is to provide accessible and affordable health screenings, diagnostic services, specialty consultations, and health education to underserved populations who may otherwise lack access to basic healthcare services. Through regularly scheduled health fairs conducted at temples, schools, and community centers, HCNJ has helped identify medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiac disease, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, various cancers, and mental health conditions at earlier stages, allowing timely intervention and reducing long-term complications.
At HCNJ, we strongly believe that preventive healthcare saves lives and helps reduce healthcare disparities within our communities. As we continue to expand our outreach and impact, we are excited to launch a new initiative in 2026 to establish a Community Health Center Look-Alike / Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) to provide primary medical, dental, and mental health services, follow-up services, vaccinations, to underserved populations across New Jersey. We remain deeply grateful to our volunteers, healthcare professionals, donors, sponsors, and community partners whose dedication and support make this humanitarian mission possible. Together, we can continue building healthier communities through compassion, prevention, early detection, and timely care.
