FAQS for Donors

How does HJAHC’s partnership with Trenton Public Schools work?
Our Mobile Health Unit and dedicated staff visit four schools in the Trenton Public School district weekly to provide physicals, immunizations, behavioral health screenings, and dental screenings directly to students at the schools! This helps address barriers to care for families, so children get the essential health services they need to be healthy and thrive. We also provide comprehensive vision services to many public schools in Trenton through our partnership with Vision To Learn, helping students in need to get vision screenings, eye exams and prescription glasses. Your support can help us expand our health services to more schools and students in Trenton. 

What is the impact of my donation?
100% of your donation will directly fund our partnership with Vision to Learn to provide free vision screenings and eyeglasses for children in Trenton. When we reach our goal, we will be able to screen 12,000 students in Trenton Public Schools and provide eyeglasses to all who need them, an estimated 80%!
