The Community Healthcare Outreach Program (CHOP) is an evolution of the ground breaking work of the late Dr. Alfonse Salerno, founding member of the second generation, family-run Salerno Medical Associates in East Orange, New Jersey. Originally called SHOP (Senior Healthcare Outreach Program), it was launched in 2002 as a return to the traditional house-call program for urban community seniors by Dr. Salerno's son, Dr. Alexander G Salerno.
Since then it has become the longest running house-call program of its type the area. In 2015, Dr. Alexander G Salerno renamed the program CHOP and expanded its services to include the state's mentally ill population, which has long been underserved by the community.

Services
As we get closer to the era of the ACO (Accountable Care Organization), many of the services that CHOP provides; i.e. screenings, metrics, and basic healthcare, will become mandatory in mental health facilities. On average mentally ill patients live 25 years less than their non mentally-ill counterparts.
