Russian Medical Program
at Monmouth Medical Center and Monmouth Medical Center Southern Campus
The Russian Medical Program at Monmouth Medical Center is dedicated to ensuring that we meet the medical needs of the growing Russian American population in our community. Our program is the only one of its kind in New Jersey that provides patient-centered, family-oriented and culturally sensitive health care services.
There are hundreds of thousands of Russian and Ukrainian people residing in Monmouth, Middlesex and Ocean counties.Our goal is to reduce health disparities and to see to it that all patients get equitable access to the health care services they need.
We speak your language
Our dedicated, Russian-speaking patient navigators provide personal assistance to help you or your loved ones easily access cost-efficient, high quality care, including:
- Inpatient and outpatient services
- Free screenings
- Community education
- Low-cost preventive programs
Language should not be a barrier to care. Our navigators can also help arrange for translation and interpretation services if necessary. Our navigators can also help you find providers who speak your language and who understand special health challenges that are more prevalent in Russian communities, such as heart conditions, diabetes, cancer, orthopedic conditions, and vascular issues.
