Jefferson Health’s Community Outreach team invites area social workers and case managers who serve residents of low-income housing complexes – along with faith- and community-based organizations, to take advantage of a free presentation about NJSave, a program that lets low-income older adults and those with disabilities apply for programs to save money on Medicare and Medicaid premiums, prescription costs, utilities and other living expenses.

Jefferson also offers health screenings, vaccination clinics, language access workshops, and educational programs at no cost to the community, according to a press release through Jefferson Health.

Through a grant from the New Jersey Department of Human Services’ Division of Aging Services, Jefferson will offer assistance to those who want to enroll in initiatives through NJSave. Those who qualify and register for the program – finalized by a Jefferson representative – can get a gift card.

Jefferson’s outreach team consists of health-care and social workers who attend hundreds of community events per year, sharing health resources with diverse populations through educational presentations, pop-up vaccine clinics, mobile health screenings and follow-up calls and care. The goal is to enroll at least 2,000 eligible individuals in NJSave.
