Gloucester Township, NJ) – The Camden County Department of Health and Human Services has been notified that a Camden County resident was diagnosed with Tuberculosis.
On February 12, a Camden County resident presented to a local hospital with symptoms consistent with Tuberculosis. Laboratory results confirmed an active TB diagnosis, and the Camden County Health Department was notified on February 17. The resident was immediately placed on isolation precaution at the local hospital and started receiving treatment on February 19.
“This is a continuing investigation, and we are actively working with the New Jersey Department of Health to identify individuals who may have been exposed,” said Commissioner Jennifer Cooley Fleisher, liaison to the Department of Health and Human Services. “The individual’s household members are in the process of being tested for TB, at this time, no household members or close contacts have presented with TB associated symptoms.”
Marie Blyth Edwards, a beloved resident of Mount Ephraim, New Jersey, passed away on Sunday, February 15, 2026. Her departure leaves a profound silence in the lives of those who loved her, but her vibrant spirit remains woven into the music and traditions she championed.
A graduate of Paul VI High School and Rowan University, Marie was a respected professional and a partner at GrayFin LLC. However, she would be the first to say that her most important and cherished job was being a mother to her daughter, Vivian. Everything Marie did was fueled by her love for Vivian, and her greatest legacy lives on in the daughter she adored.
Known for her sharp sense of humor and quick wit, Marie had a way of brightening any room and making every conversation more memorable. She lived with a constant soundtrack; to her, music was the heartbeat of her home and her favorite way to connect with the world. She taught her family that every moment in life is better with the right song playing.
The New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS) would have to maintain a waiting list for people applying to the State’s child care assistance program (CCAP) under legislation advanced in committee today. The Assembly Aging and Human Services approved Bill A2247, sponsored by Assemblywoman Shanique Speight.
CCAP helps income eligible families afford care. When assistance is unavailable, parents – particularly single parents and those working hourly or nontraditional schedules – are often forced to reduce work hours, leave the workforce altogether, or rely on unstable informal care arrangements. Last summer, DHS announced that the program would stop accepting new applications due to funding shortfalls. The agency resumed accepting applications on a limited basis in December.
“Child care is a critical part of New Jersey’s infrastructure. It allows parents to work, supports healthy child development, and strengthens our economy,” said Assemblywoman Speight (D-Essex, Hudson), Chair of the Aging and Human Services Committee. “Last year’s freezing of new CCAP applications underscored the fragility of New Jersey’s child care system. Establishing a waitlist is a critical step toward understanding the scope of need and providing data necessary to make informed decisions about the program at the state level.”
Currently, families whose applications for CCAP are not processed due to funding limitations may receive little clarity regarding their status, future eligibility, or when they might reasonably expect assistance to become available. This lack of transparency increases uncertainty for families and can discourage reapplication.
Under the bill, the Division of Family Development (the Division) within DHS would be required to maintain a list of presumptively eligible applicants who apply for assistance through the CCAP but are notified that their applications cannot be processed due to limited funding.
The legislation would also require the Division to designate contracted child care resource and referral agencies as access points to assist applicants in completing and submitting applications, as well as standardized self-attestation forms used to establish program eligibility. The Division would also be required to publish, at least semi-annually, a report containing aggregate data on eligible applicants who qualify for and apply to receive assistance through the State’s child care assistance program.
Assemblywoman Shama Haider also sponsored the legislation.

Today, Congressman Van Drew released a list highlighting some of the federal funding he has secured for South Jersey over the past year through the federal budget, competitive grants, and targeted infrastructure investments.
