At Healing the Children New Jersey we believe that all children
around the world deserve the chance to grow and prosper.

By providing access to quality medical care through our three unique programs
we strive to help children live normal lives that are healthier, happier, and more optimistic.

Medical Teams Abroad

HTCNJ sends volunteer medical teams overseas to provide pro-bono medical care to children in need.

International Inbound

HTCNJ hosts children from around the world while they receive medical treatment not available in their native countries.

Domestic Aid

HTCNJ helps children with complex medical diagnoses by providing specialized equipment, therapeutic care, OTC supplies, and financial assistance. HTCNJ also provides basic healthcare products for children to food banks and shelters throughout the state.

It costs HTCNJ on average $10,000 to send a medical team abroad.
