The Chinese Medical Program is designed to ensure that we meet the medical needs of the growing Chinese American population in New Jersey. Our goal is to ensure that all patients get the care and services they need, with easy access to high quality inpatient and outpatient services, as well as free screenings, community education and low-cost preventive programs.
At Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, our doctors are experienced in treating conditions that are prevalent in Asian American communities, such as heart disease, cancer and gastrointestinal disease, and we are committed to providing culturally and linguistically competent care.
Because communication is such an important part of the health care experience, we make sure that language differences don't present a barrier for our patients.
