This issue of the Health Hub focuses on sustainability within Rutgers Health and the strides being made to mitigate climate change. From groundbreaking research in nanoplastics in water bottles to the formation of a Rutgers Health Climate Action Working Group, we have much to celebrate as well as much work to be done.

In this issue, we honor the recipients of the 2024 Rutgers Health Chancellor’s Awards, as well as another important celebration this fall — the New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science (NJ ACTS) and its transformative $47.5 million grant, a testament to our collective commitment to improving health for New Jersey residents.

Learn about our commitment to wellness at Rutgers Health, from our new Promotion of Well-being initiative, offering resources and programs tailored to enhance our collective health, to student wellness activities and resources, as well as Suicide Prevention Month events and trainings, opportunities to improve mindfulness with the Search Inside Yourself initiative, and more.

The latest Rutgers Health Hub newsletter is centered around health equity, from our Health Equity Symposium to other innovative initiatives to advance health equity, including groundbreaking translational research, community outreach programs, and providing equitable surgical services.

This year holds great promise to be momentous for Rutgers Health. We are thrilled to continue celebrating our ten-year anniversary, coupled with the ongoing rollout of our new identity as Rutgers Health.

We are delighted to commemorate a significant milestone with you: the ten-year anniversary of the founding of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, now known as Rutgers Health.

With countless initiatives underway and the 10-year anniversary of our institution, we launch the inaugural issue of our Rutgers Health newsletter to keep — our friends and most avid supporters — on top of our progress.
