According to Hackensack Meridian Health CEO Robert Garrett, the new private accommodations, "will improve patient care and the patient experience and help us live our mission to transform health care."

Like many hospitals, CarePoint Health’s three Hudson County facilities have had to face challenges this past year, the system's CEO Dr. Achintya Moulick writes, "but emerged stronger than ever. ... Hoboken University Medical Center, Bayonne Medical Center and Christ Hospital, have saved thousands of lives ... and as we reach the critical vaccination levels in this country and we begin to surface from the pandemic, I felt the need to tell our story. "

Health care industry veteran Warren Moore assumes a new role to advance the network’s strategic growth.

“AtlantiCare has long been committed to preventing and addressing social inequities and disparities in health care,” says President and Chief Executive Officer Lori Herndon. “In 2020, we embraced the fact that we needed to do more. Spurred by nationwide social unrest, we recognized a powerful opportunity to re-evaluate our organizational culture and commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I).”

New Jersey hospitals enjoy a solid reputation nationwide, according to several ranking systems that have issued findings in recent months.

At the peak of the pandemic last spring, Atlantic Health System was treating 900 patients. And since the start of the vaccine rollout, it has been at the forefront of getting shots into state residents' arms, working with the state to run the mega-site in Morris County. So it’s probably not surprising that President and CEO Brian Gragnolati is still cautious about the outlook. NJBIZ recently spoke with him about his experience during the pandemic and why New Jerseyans should not let their guard down just yet.

The state's largest academic health care system said that as it continues to play an integral role in vaccinating New Jersey residents to fight the spread of the virus and end the pandemic, its workers will have until the end of next month to have get inoculations.

“This new location is the next step for Bergen New Bridge Medical Center in expanding access to care into our communities,” said Bergen New Bridge/Care Plus Bergen Board Chairperson Robert Pacicco in a prepared statement.

The project will provide 78 rental apartments that will serve low- and moderate-income households to promote economic diversity in the Fairmount neighborhood of Newark.

Only about 6% of the more than 750 American hospitals that perform TAVR, a minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure, have earned this designation from the American College of Cardiology.

For the first time since its inception during last fall’s COVID surge, the New Jersey Hospital Associations color-coded guide shows that more visitors are allowed as cases of the virus decline.

The goal is to work toward a definitive agreement that will create a more comprehensive and sustainable health care system for the surrounding community.
