CentraState Healthcare System

About

At CentraState Healthcare System, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing healthcare in central New Jersey through groundbreaking technology and an unwavering commitment to patient-centered care. Established in 1971, our 284-bed acute-care hospital in Freehold forms the cornerstone of a comprehensive health and wellness network. This network includes a vibrant health and wellness campus, three award-winning senior living communities, a charitable foundation, and multiple convenient satellite health pavilions, extending our reach and making quality care accessible throughout the region. Our dedication to innovation is exemplified by our early adoption of advanced technologies like the Epic electronic health record (EHR) platform, implemented to enhance efficiency and patient safety by providing physicians with seamless access to complete and up-to-date medical records. This technological integration ensures that no matter where a patient receives care within our system, their medical information travels with them, facilitating coordinated and informed decision-making. Our innovation extends to specialized services and clinical advancements. CentraState Medical Center boasts a state-of-the-art Emergency Department, recognized as a Level II emergency facility, an Advanced Primary Stroke Center, and an accredited Chest Pain Center, alongside a dedicated pediatric emergency department. We are also home to a nationally recognized community-hospital comprehensive cancer program and the Linda E. Cardinale Multiple Sclerosis Center, a regional leader in MS diagnosis and treatment. Furthermore, our partnership with Atlantic Health System, solidified in 2022, has provided significant resources to bolster our programs and services, allowing us to leverage cutting-edge data analytics capabilities for improved patient outcomes and reduced costs. This collaboration also means our patients benefit from access to Atlantic Health's nationally recognized services and programs. As a teaching hospital affiliated with Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, we are shaping the future of medicine by training the next generation of healthcare professionals, particularly through our Family Medicine Residency Program. This commitment to education and continuous improvement, coupled with our focus on compassionate, high-quality care, defines CentraState's innovative approach to advancing the health and well-being of our community.
