Mission Statement

The primary mission of the Children's Emergency Medical Fund of New Jersey of New Jersey is to make funds and services available within 24 hours of a request.

Our secondary mission is to make available educational outreach and advocacy services throughout the state of New Jersey and the nation.

NJPS/CEMF Community Outreach Programs, including video and computer based presentations have been nationally recognized. This past year we have joined with Disabilities TV to produce a series focusing on a broad array of children with disabilities and the everyday issues they must face.

We custom build state of the art computers equipped with video conferencing to monitor many of our seriously ill, homebound, "Truste Kids.". We are now able to monitor children from our homes and offices. This is a first in the state and probably in the country. The system we have constructed can be found in many of the finest New York hospitals. There are no other systems like this in patient's homes. "Truste" volunteers take turns monitoring and examining online. All computers are donated by the Children's Emergency Medical Fund of New Jersey. Because it is impossible for us to get to some of our "Truste Kids" in a crisis, this system allows us to act at the spur of the moment. If we see a child is in respiratory distress or in need of immediate assistance, we are able to call an ambulance or make adjustments as needed white online. We are using a number of systems that will limit any interference with internet privacy and extended connections.

We even have a small scholarship fund and offer a work study program to high school and college students.
