Statewide health organization recognizes NHCAC efforts
The New Jersey Primary Care Association (NJPCA) has recognized North Hudson Community Action’s Health Centers with two Quality Improvement awards for 2010.
North Hudson Community Action provides low-cost or free health care to needy area residents. It has nine health centers in three northern New Jersey counties. Last year the health centers handled more than 220,000 patient visits.
The first award recognized North Hudson’s work on the National Diabetes and Asthma Collaborative program, spearheaded by Jacqueline Plick, a certified adult nurse practitioner and certified diabetes educator.
The second award recognized the agency’s work on its new Health Literacy program, led by Ann Dorio, a registered nurse. The Health Literacy program is a three-year educational outreach effort aimed at making patients more aware of important health issues. The program is funded by a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s New Jersey Health Initiatives program.
Local kids can sign up for summer theater camp
Carl Gonzalez, an award-winning playwright, director, and educator who serves as artistic director of the Park Performing Arts Center (ParkPAC), will take on a different role this summer as Summer Camp Director for ParkPAC’s first ever children’s summer camp.
An enthusiastic promoter of arts education, Carl has taught acting throughout New Jersey, including the Arts School in Newark (the nation’s first performing arts school), as well as the Performing Arts High School in Jersey City where he received the Merrill Lynch Outstanding Scholar award.
This summer he will take that experience to the Park School for the Performing Arts for a summer of fun and theater performing Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” The five-week musical theater camp runs from July 6th to August 12th. The camp will run Monday to Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Fridays 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
The camp is designed for fourth through eighth graders to learn new skills, make new friends, and increase confidence. The experience will culminate in a professionally produced musical in the historic Park Theater.
Registration is scheduled for Saturdays in June from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Park School for the Performing Arts, 3rd floor. For more information, call (201) 865-6980 or visit www.parkpac.org.
