“One’s health is an important aspect of life that we cannot afford to neglect as a community. Various age groups can be affected if the proper measurements are not taken. This dialogue during the Town Hall not only allowed us to listen and address concerns regarding health issues in the community; but also informing residents on healthcare plans and how to live an overall healthier lifestyle. Which in turn will build a better, stronger Newark starting from within its residents” stated Mayor Baraka.
The Town Hall is free and open to the public. The Town Hall is the fourth of four such events the Mayor and NJPAC will hold. Register by clicking HERE.
