Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) and the Mexican Consulate in New Brunswick, NJ, have entered into a formal agreement to provide access to health care services, health prevention and educational initiatives, and health screening services to Mexican nationals. The services will be coordinated through the hospital’s Community Health Promotions Program.
Under the agreement, RWJUH and the Consulate will partner to develop the Ventanilla de Salud “to improve the physical and mental well-being of Mexicans living in the United States.” The initiative will feature RWJUH Community Health Promoters (Promotoras) who will be present at the Consulate to provide information about primary and preventive health care services as well as eligibility for public services, provide quality and culturally sensitive services; and work towards reducing the use of emergency services to have care delivered in the most appropriate setting.
