About the Camden Coalition of Healthcare Providers

The Camden Coalition is a non-profit organization based in Camden, New Jersey. The Camden Coalition innovates and tests health care delivery models to improve patient outcomes and reduce the cost of their care using data driven, human-centered practices. For more than a decade, the Camden Coalition has used data as the foundation for building and testing health care delivery models that give equal weight to the social, behavioral and medical underpinnings of health and well-being.

The Coalition launched the Camden ARISE initiative in 2015 to supplement health care data from three hospital systems in Camden, NJ, with information from other human service domains, such as the Camden County Police Department, Camden City School District, Camden County Department of Corrections, South Jersey Perinatal Cooperative and two additional hospitals in South Jersey. These data form the bedrock of various innovative collaborations. Learn more about Camden Coalition.
