Mombrun has been vital in strengthening Integrity’s partnerships with Bergen New Bridge Medical Center and the Hudson County Corrections & Rehabilitation Center, advancing Integrity House’s community reach. He has championed inclusion, diversity, and equity efforts through his role as chair of the IDEA committee, while also working to expand Integrity House’s educational affiliations to over 28 academic institutions. Under his leadership, Integrity House’s capacity at the Hudson County Corrections & Rehabilitation Center has tripled, and the organization is set to open Bergen County’s first Harm Reduction Center in 2024.
