Elevating Health
Your zipcode matters a lot when it comes to your health. For example, the difference in life expectancy between the urban Trenton zip code 08608 (69 years) and the suburban Princeton zip code 08542 (89.7 years), ten miles away, is over 20 years.
Our team is making New Jersey a healthier place for everyone. Every area of our work connects back to health. We strive to encourage the redevelopment of our communities with a focus on health outcomes.
