TRENTON, N.J. – The Trenton Health Team (THT) has recently moved to a new office location at the famous “Corner Historic” at 1 West State Street, Fourth Floor in Trenton.

“We are truly humbled to call 1 West State Street our new home,” said Gregory Paulson, executive director of THT.

1 West State Street is famous for several reasons.

First, the location was famously home to First Mechanics National Bank of Trenton. Prior to that, it was the City Tavern, where the New Jersey delegation ratified the U.S. Constitution in 1787, and hosted George Washington and his family when he was inaugurated as the first President of the United States.

The site has origins dating back to 1730 when John Dagworthy purchased the property from William Trent and built a large homestead.

Now, the building is currently owned by Maestro Technologies that specializes in big data solutions and web security.

Kamal Bathla, managing director of Maestro Technologies, purchased the building in 2017 and is excited about the new possibilities.

He said, “We intend to ignite Trenton with start-up culture, incubator space, training facility, lab and much more. Stay tuned as we write the next chapter in Trenton’s history!”

The company chose to relocate to Trenton to develop public and private partnerships and find innovative solutions in healthcare, technology, and other industries.

THT new office space includes a mural painted by Leon Rainbow, a local Trenton artist. The painting features several landmarks, including the Capital Building and Battle Monument.

The mural was commissioned by THT to illustrate the organization’s vision of a healthy, vibrant capital city.

“Our goal is to improve health outcomes for Trenton residents through strong community partnerships, and based in our new historic location, honor the history of Trenton and the State of New Jersey,” said Paulson of THT.

THT is a nationally recognized community health improvement collaborative serving the six zip codes of Trenton.

The collaborative is an innovative partnership among Capital Health Hospital, St. Francis Medical Center, Henry J. Austin Health Center, and the Department of Health and Human Services of the City of Trenton.

The vision of THT is to make Trenton the healthiest city in the state. Its mission is to transform healthcare for the city by forming a committed partnership with the community.

THT also wants to expand access to high quality, coordinated, cost-effective healthcare.
