Health Coalition of Passaic County

What Health Coalition of Passaic County does

Health Coalition of Passaic County (HCPC), founded in 2016 and headquartered in Paterson, New Jersey, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that operates as both a Community Care Hub and one of four legislatively designated Regional Health Hubs in New Jersey (designated in 2020). The organization coordinates care for Northern New Jersey residents — particularly seniors, women, individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes, and high-risk pregnant women — by deploying community health workers who connect clients to clinical care, housing, food, transportation, insurance, and other social services. Its core service line, Pathways to Success Programs, operates under the Nationally Certified Pathways Community HUB model, for which HCPC became the first and only certified organization in New Jersey in 2025.

HCPC's technology infrastructure is built on third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: Unite Us powers its public-facing Community Resource Directory, referral tracking, appointment sharing, and outcome follow-up, while NowPow identifies and connects clients to partner organizations for social determinants of health needs. Integrated clinical and social data feeds a data analytics layer that supports community needs assessment and public health reporting. HCPC coordinates a network of 80+ partner organizations spanning faith-based institutions, healthcare systems (e.g., St. Joseph's Health), managed care organizations, and NJ state agencies including NJ FamilyCare and the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services.

The organization's business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than fee-based. Services are provided at no cost to community residents, and approximately $5 million in cumulative grant funding has been secured since inception. Notable funding sources include a $300,000 Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation grant (via Camden Coalition, December 2023) for healthcare safety-net strengthening. Governance is provided by a Board of Trustee Member Organizations and a quarterly-convening Community Advisory Board, with Kimberly Birdsall, MPH serving as Executive Director.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• United Way of Passaic County: Local funder and convener in Passaic County operating 2-1-1 referral services. Operates in the same community resource navigation space as HCPC and represents both a partial overlap in services and a potential partner.
• MHP Salud: National nonprofit implementing community health worker programs in underserved communities, particularly Latino populations. Comparable CHW-led model, but operates across multiple states rather than a single county.

Emerging players

• HealthBegins: National nonprofit focused on upstream health and SDOH consulting for health systems and communities. Comparable mission around addressing social drivers of health, but operates primarily as a consulting and advisory organization rather than direct service delivery.

Direct peers

• Health Leads: National nonprofit that pioneered SDOH navigation programs connecting patients to community resources. Highly comparable operating model and mission, though Health Leads operates at multi-market scale rather than regional.
• Trenton Health Team: The fourth NJ Regional Health Hub, serving Trenton. Operates a community health worker model and data-driven care coordination program analogous to HCPC's Pathways to Success initiatives.
• Greater Newark Healthcare Coalition: Another of NJ's four legislatively designated Regional Health Hubs serving Newark and surrounding communities. Comparable in scope, governance model (coalition of partners), and Regional Health Hub mandate, differing mainly by geography.
• Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers: One of the other four designated NJ Regional Health Hubs and a national leader in complex care models. Operates a near-identical model combining community health workers, SDOH care coordination, and data analytics — HCPC's most direct functional peer.

Others

• Findhelp (formerly Aunt Bertha): Social care network platform connecting people to community resources. Functionally overlapping with HCPC's Unite Us-powered directory, but operates as a national technology platform rather than as a regional care coordination provider.
• Unite Us: Technology platform that powers HCPC's resource directory and referral system. Operates broader networks of coordinated care communities and is both a critical infrastructure provider and a potential competitor in care coordination.
• National Association of Community Health Workers: National membership and advocacy organization for community health workers. Adjacent rather than competitive, but represents the broader CHW workforce ecosystem in which HCPC operates and sources its community health workers.
