PRINCETON, N.J., March 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "We
appreciate Gov. Murphy's focus on good health by continuing
critical funding for key healthcare initiatives. It's vitally
important that we maintain charity care funding for the underserved
in all communities; graduate medical education to support the
graduates of New Jersey's medical
schools who are the next generation of healthcare professionals;
incentive programs that promote safe, quality healthcare; and care
for our most frail individuals in nursing homes.
"But good health is not just clinical care – now more than ever
it's about what's occurring in our communities. We applaud the
Governor's commitment of $100 million
to fight the state's opioid crisis and additional budget items that
support good health not just in our facilities but in the
communities where we live, work and play. We look forward to
working with Gov. Murphy, his Administration and the Legislature to
turn these budget priorities into actions that improve the health
of the people of New Jersey."
