Plainfield, NJ, April 17, 2006—On May 5, 2006 at 7 P.M., Plainfield Neighborhood Health Services Corporation will celebrate the 10th Annual Gala and Silent Auction at the Bridgewater Marriott. The fundraising event “Looking Back…Reaching Forward” acknowledges the past accomplishments and dedicated commitment of former Oliver J. Bartlett honorees from 2001-2005. The Oliver J.

Proceeds from the event will support the growth of the health centers by expanding space for specialty services and support collaborative programs such as asthma and childhood obesity. Currently the centers service over 22,200 patients annually at four different sites in Plainfield and ElizabethPort. These programs bring high quality primary care services staffed with board certified providers.
