38 NJAMHAA has always been able to pivot, making the most of any situation, and quickly and effectively address whatever the needs are in the constantly changing environment— all to the benefit of providers and the diverse, vulnerable populations they serve. NJAMHAA assists members in both sustaining their organizations and putting them in a position of strength to move forward by keeping them ahead of the curve and ensuring their ongoing ability to improve and expand health care and address the social determinants of health. “I am proud of the high impact NJAMHAA has achieved through our advocacy, which is all the more powerful thanks to the collaboration of our incredible members and other stakeholders, including valued peers and families, and our state and federal leaders and partners,” said Debra L. Wentz, PhD, President and CEO of NJAMHAA. “Most of all, I am filled with gratitude and hope as NJAMHAA and its members’ work continues to positively impact the lives of New Jersey’s diverse communities by promoting equity to create health, healing and resiliency for all.” Looking ahead
