- Bayonne, Hudson County.
More than 100 Bayonne seniors turned out for the city's first Lunch and Learn with Bayonne University Hospital and the Bayonne Office of Aging, an event built around making local healthcare resources easier to reach.
The educational lunch brought in Hudson Regional Health physicians who specialize in rheumatology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and gastroenterology. Attendees also received information about senior services available through the hospital and the city's Office of Aging.
The local stakes are straightforward: older residents got a chance to hear directly from specialists and learn where to find care and community support close to home.
“We are proud to partner with the City of Bayonne to bring important healthcare education and resources directly to our local community,” Dr. Vijay Singh, Chief Hospital Executive at Bayonne University Hospital, said. “This is the first of several upcoming lunches where we will help our residents connect with our expert physicians, and access high-quality care right here in Bayonne.”
Organizers said the Lunch and Learn series will continue with additional health topics, access to primary care and specialty physicians, and connections to local healthcare and community resources.
