Establishes New Jersey Center for Black Excellence in Health at Rutgers University.

S 5012 establishes the New Jersey Center for Black Excellence in Health at Rutgers University. The center will directly serve Black communities and people of color by facilitating health programs, researching culturally appropriate care models, building community partnerships to address health disparities, and recommending systemic changes to the state's public health system. Key mechanisms include forming a 12-member steering committee (co-chaired by Rutgers and the Health Commissioner) with representatives from state health agencies, hospitals, business groups, and advocacy organizations. The center may seek grant funding and Rutgers may hire staff to advance these goals, with the bill taking effect immediately.
