Greater Newark Health Care Coalition

What Greater Newark Health Care Coalition does

Greater Newark Health Care Coalition (GNHCC) is a New Jersey-based non-profit 501(c)(3) founded in 2008 in response to the closure of two Newark hospitals. It functions as a Regional Health Hub for the Greater Newark area (Newark, East Orange, and Irvington), as designated by Governor Murphy in January 2020 alongside sister coalitions in Camden, Trenton, and Paterson. GNHCC convenes hospitals, primary care providers, behavioral health organizations, faith-based organizations, and community groups to improve healthcare delivery and health outcomes for Medicaid beneficiaries and other vulnerable populations.

GNHCC's core technology asset is the Health Information Exchange (HIE), a web-based platform launched in July 2017 that provides secure, real-time, shared medical information access across founding members University Hospital, Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care, and Integrity House. The HIE supports analytics at population and individual levels. Around this data infrastructure, GNHCC operates multiple health initiative programs: Faith in Prevention (50+ faith-based organizations, 1,000+ congregants educated), Maternal and Child Health (Medicaid doula and postpartum benefit implementation), Child and Adolescent Health (ACE Impact Team), the Pediatric Asthma Community Resource Directory, and the South Ward Promise Neighborhood health anchor partnership (a five-year $30 million U.S. Department of Education grant awarded in December 2017).

GNHCC is funded primarily through government grants (federal, state, including a $1.5 million FY2020 state Medicaid ACO allocation) and foundation grants (Healthcare Foundation of NJ, Horizon Foundation for New Jersey). It does not sell commercial products or services; all programs are grant-funded public health initiatives delivered at no cost to Medicaid members and community residents. Revenue mechanics rely on grant renewals, state appropriations, and partnership-based program delivery rather than fee-for-service or subscription revenue.
