We have embarked on a journey to create one integrated network that has changed how health care is delivered in New Jersey.We are confident that Hackensack Meridian Health is poised to better meet the needs of our communities, benefiting both patients and the physicians who care for them.The new normal for health care delivery has clearly been established: We need to dramatically improve preventative care, get significantly better at caring for patients with chronic conditions, and learn to stay financially viable in a value-based environment.We believe Hackensack Meridian Health will achieve all of this through our streamlined, expanded network of clinically excellent care. Our combined organization will have 13 hospitals and more than 200 ambulatory care centers, fitness and wellness centers, home health services, rehab centers, and skilled nursing centers spanning from Bergen to Atlantic counties.We are excited to offer better care to more residents throughout New Jersey, and will use our collective strengths to ensure a health network dedicated to family and patient-centered care, world-class education, and tomorrow’s research. This is a very exciting time for our hospitals, our team members, and especially our patients.
