Thank you to all the physicians, employees, and volunteers who donated backpacks and school supplies to help local boys and girls get the school year off to a good start.
The annual backpack challenge is coordinated by staff of the Bristol-Myers Squibb Community Health Center. As of early August, the center collected 40 backpacks filled with school supplies that will be distributed to pediatric patients. The community health center provides primary and specialty care to uninsured and under-insured individuals of all ages in central New Jersey, handling nearly 27,000 patient visits annually. Patient care is provided by Princeton Health physicians and medical residents supervised by physician faculty members of Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.
