IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Starting in spring 2005, we have added notification to parents of children under 5% or over 95% of CDC recommended weight standards. Research now shows children are at risk for childhood obesity which predisposes them for health issues as they age.Please access the following website for additional information: http://www.obesity.org

NJ Family Care provides free or low cost insurance for children and their parents/guardians. For more information or to apply please visit www.njfamilycare.org.
