Two NJ cities join national effort to become safer childbirth cities
Last week, first lady Tammy Murphy moderated a panel discussion in Newark to bring attention to the maternal mortality issue in the Garden State.
Joanna Gagis joins the NJTV News team as a Producer/Correspondent. Prior to joining NJTV, Joanna helped develop and launch the lifestyle show “Life & Living with Joanna Gagis,” an in-depth interview series featuring New Jersey entrepreneurs and philanthropists, great garden state destinations, and segments highlighting New Jersey’s culture – from fashion to cuisine. “Life & Living” aired on NJTV and FiOS1. She was Vice President of Programming for the Caucus Educational Corporation and Executive Producer of such Emmy Award-winning series as “Caucus: New Jersey,” “One-on-One with Steve Adubato” and “State of Affairs with Steve Adubato,” where she covered NJ politics, education, the economy, social and family issues, and interviews with well-known media and tv personalities.
Joanna regularly moderates corporate and non-profit forums and events that educate the public on important issues of the day. She serves on the board of a non-profit organization in Paterson called Oasis, A Haven for Women & Children, which helps families rise out of poverty. She is a member of Enterprising Women of New Jersey, a senior-level executive women’s organization. And her most important job by far is being a mom to her two young children.
