On Monday, March 2, 2020 NCHC celebrated Read Across America Day. Read Across America Day is a day to celebrate the joys of reading. It also brings awareness to the importance of reading in education and helps to motivate kids to read more. Thanks to a generous donation by Aetna Better Health of NJ, NCHC was able to provide free books to children across each of our locations in Newark, East Orange, Orange, and Irvington.

Dr. Clarke (President and CEO of NCHC) is pictured reading to children at Roberto Clemente Elementary School, located close by to our 741 Broadway location.

Ms. Sonia Whyte, Director of Health for Irvington, is pictured reading to children at NCHC’s 1150 Springfield Ave clinic in the pediatric waiting room. Emmanuel Larose (Fatherhood Coordinator at NCHC) is pictured next to Ms. Whyte wearing a Dr. Seuss hat in celebration of Dr. Seuss’s birthday.
