[The Montclair Times] On Thursday, June 27, Toni's Kitchen, the soup kitchen operated by St. Luke's Episcopal Church on South Fullerton Avenue, had more than just vegetables, soup, protein and fruit on offer.

There was a pharmacist, a medical assistant, and a nurse practitioner. There was a table for patient registration. And a social worker for helping with care coordination.

That's all because representatives with the Urban Healthcare Initiative Program (UHIP), a nonprofit founded by East Orange-based physician Alexander Salerno, went knocking on Toni's Kitchen's doors this spring.
