University Hospital, in partnership with Integrity House, has launched a new Community Health Hub, further expanding community wellness and risk reduction initiatives.

Located outside the Emergency Department at 150 Bergen Street, the kiosk provides immediate and confidential access to essential health and prevention supplies. Available items include naloxone (Narcan), adulterant test strips, menstrual kits, personal hygiene kits, safer s*x kits, wound care kits, pregnancy tests, and at-home HIV test kits.

University Hospital is often a first point of contact for individuals experiencing a substance use–related crisis or other urgent health concerns. By positioning the Community Health Hub at this critical access point, this partnership helps ensure individuals and families can access prevention supplies and connect to additional services without barriers or delays.

Dr. Paul Gaglio, Director of the Liver Transplant Program at University Hospital and Rutgers New Jersey Medical School , shares the importance of organ and tissue donation and the lifesaving difference it makes for patients and their families.

With thousands of people currently waiting for a transplant, organ and tissue donation remains critical to addressing the ongoing need for lifesaving and life-enhancing procedures. Increasing donor registration expands access to care and improves outcomes for patients awaiting transplantation.

With a current blood shortage impacting hospitals nationwide, our University Hospital community stepped up when it mattered most.

In partnership with the New York Blood Center, we came together for our February 2026 Blood Drive. This year, our donors didn’t just give blood, they shared why they give. Their words say it best: every donation is a second chance for someone in need.

Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and made a difference. Be on the lookout for our next drive later this spring! 🩸
