About us
Henry J. Austin Health Center, Inc. (HJAHC) is located in Trenton, New Jersey. Established in 1969 as Trenton's Neighborhood Health Center, HJAHC was incorporated in 1986 as a private, non-profit 501(c) (3) entity. The mission of Henry J. Austin Health Center is to provide quality, community-based, affordable, accessible primary health care services in a culturally sensitive manner with respect and dignity. Increasing access and decreasing barriers to quality care are the mainstays of HJAHC. HJAHC is named after Dr. Henry J. Austin, an African-American, Princeton resident, who came to Trenton to practice medicine since Jim Crow laws prohibited this in his own home town. Austin was born on February 23, 1888 in Tallahassee, Florida and was brought to Princeton as a young boy. He attended Howard University Medical School and graduated in 1918. HJAHC is a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). FQHC is a federal designation from the Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) that is assigned to private non-profit or public health care organizations that serve predominantly uninsured or medically underserved populations. FQHCs are located in or serving a federally designated Medically Underserved Area/Population. HJAHC is the largest non-hospital based ambulatory care provider in the city. Primary health care services include: adult medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, HIV treatment, dental care, podiatry, and ophthalmology. Additional services are nutrition, social service, substance abuse assessment and intervention, behavioral health, translation services, transportation, and an onsite pharmacy. Most forms of health insurance including Medicare and Medicaid are accepted and there is a sliding fee scale for the uninsured. Henry J. Austin Health Center provides care to approximately 13,000 individuals annually generating more than 50,000 visits from four locations.

Henry J. Austin Health Center reposted this
Chief Executive Officer at Girls Who Code
Congratulations to 12-year-old Zoe, who recently became the youngest CEO to launch a toy brand at Target. At just six years old, Zoe identified a significant gap in the doll industry, noticing the lack of representation for natural hair. This inspired her to create Curly and Confident Crew Dolls. Her line of dolls features a diverse array of hair types and skin tones and carries an empowering message. Each doll is designed to inspire confidence in young girls and encourage their interest in STEM fields. Zoe is also passionate about giving back to the community. For every doll purchased on their website, Beautifully Curly Me pledges to donate an additional doll to children in underprivileged communities. Zoe is also the youngest Black TEDx speaker ever and was a finalist for Time’s Kid of the Year. Her achievements are truly inspiring! https://bit.ly/3A4HuRO
