💙 Bringing Healthcare Directly Into Our Community 💙

Saint James Health was honored to welcome U.S. Senator Andy Kim to our clinic at East Side High School in Newark for a firsthand look at how school-based healthcare can help remove barriers and bring essential services closer to the people who need them.

Opened in partnership with RWJBarnabas Health in August 2024, our East Side High School location represents our shared commitment to expanding access to quality, community-based care. The clinic provides primary care services, including pediatrics, adult medicine, and physicals, along with support from Community Health Workers and social workers and assistance with insurance enrollment.

By bringing healthcare into trusted community spaces, we can meet patients where they are, connect families with critical resources, and help build healthier futures throughout Newark.

We are grateful to Senator Andy Kim for taking the time to visit, learn more about this important model of care, and see the impact being made in our community. We are equally grateful for our continued partnership with RWJBarnabas Health and everyone who works each day to make accessible, compassionate healthcare a reality.

💙 Together, we are bringing care closer to home and building a healthier Newark.

Children bring more than a backpack into the classroom! 🎒

Sleep, hydration, balanced meals, movement and emotional support can all affect how they feel and function during the school day.

Families do not have to change everything at once. A few steady routines can create a stronger start.🍎

08/13/2026

Late-summer routines can make the transition back to school feel harder.

Begin adjusting bedtime and wake-up times gradually, practice morning routines and plan simple breakfasts before classes begin.

Small changes now can help children feel more rested, focused and ready for the day. 💪
