Welcome from the President/CEO

Zufall Health  >  About Us  >  Welcome from the President/CEO

Welcome to Zufall Health! We are a nonprofit community health center providing affordable, high-quality health care across the full lifespan, regardless of income, insurance, or other barriers. With locations throughout northern and central New Jersey, we serve the largest geographic area of any health center in the state.

As President and Chief Executive Officer, it is my privilege to lead a talented staff who, at all levels, are committed to more equitable health care access and to helping our patients live longer, healthier lives. No matter what or where your interaction with Zufall – medical, dental, or behavioral care in one of our clinical offices; a health screening or vaccination at a community-based event; support with insurance enrollment by phone – we pledge to treat you with dignity and compassion.

Quality is a top priority at Zufall. We have repeatedly been named by the Health Resources and Services Administration a Health Center Quality Leader, indicating that our overall clinical quality measure performance ranks in the top 10 percent nationwide. The National Committee for Quality Assurance has since 2016 recognized Zufall as a Patient Centered Medical Home, meaning that we meet high standards for comprehensive, team-based care. We have also received accolades from the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for outstanding clinical results.

None of our achievements would have been possible without our board of directors, providers, staff, volunteers, philanthropic partners – and of course, the patients who entrust us with their health care. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you!
