A History of Health in the City of Newark In 1857, the City of Newark established a local board of health. Since that time, the NDHCW has expanded its pro- grams to protect and promote the health, safety, and welfare of Newark residents. As a city health department, it is re- quired by State law to conduct public health surveillance and enforce state health laws and regulations affecting Newark residents. In that regard, DHCW also delivers an array of environmental health services such as food inspections and animal/rodent control, etc., minimizing the spread of dis- ease, thereby improving the health, safety, and welfare of residents. The DHCW collaborates and partners with com- munity-based organizations throughout the city, county, and state to ensure aggregate, community, and population-based improvements in public health and healthcare outcomes. Services are provided on a continuum-of-care service model, in a compassionate and professional manner.

“It is a requirement of the NJ Civil Service Commission, for an employee to become permanent in the title of Health Educator, they have to be CHES ® or MCHES ® certified. I think that’s a big statement and sign of respect for the value of the certification from the City of Newark as well as the NJ Department of Health.” — Nikeysha Harris-Neal, MPA, CHES ® , Department of Health & Community Wellness
