About the Business

Located at 65 Bergen Street in Newark, New Jersey, the Rutgers School of Health Professions is a prestigious university offering a wide range of programs for aspiring health professionals. From nutrition and lab sciences to physical, occupational, and speech therapies, as well as psychiatric rehabilitation, students receive hands-on training and superior clinical experiences to prepare them for delivering exceptional patient-focused care.

One unique program offered at the institution is Eye2Eye Peer Support, which provides a vital connection for the visually impaired. Peer support specialist Tracey Simon, who has personal experience with vision loss, leads this initiative to help those in need.

In addition to traditional programs, the School of Health Professions is also involved in cutting-edge research. High school cross-country runners from across New Jersey are participating in a study led by assistant professor Allison Brown to determine predictors of running injuries.

Dean Jeffrey J. DiGiovanni, a communications sciences and disorders scholar, has recently joined the institution and brings extensive higher education experience to the role. In a recent Q&A, he discusses his vision for the future of the school and his plans for advancing its programs and research initiatives.
