It also states: “Jennifer’s work exemplifies a dedication to health equity and addressing gaps related to race, socioeconomic status, and geographic location.”
As regulatory changes, workforce shortages, and rising costs continue to affect New Jersey’s healthcare landscape, D’Angelo is recognized for promoting collaboration and innovative approaches at NJII. Her leadership is described as helping build a more equitable and resilient system for all residents.
