Hackensack Meridian Health

About

What began as a strategic vision to transform healthcare in New Jersey has evolved into the state's largest and most comprehensive health network. Formed in 2016 through the merger of Hackensack University Health Network and Meridian Health, Hackensack Meridian Health brought together two powerhouse systems with roots dating back to the 19th century, including the founding of Hackensack University Medical Center in 1888. Today, the network comprises 18 hospitals, more than 500 patient care locations, and a team of over 36,000 dedicated professionals. Driven by a mission to 'Keep Getting Better,' the organization has expanded beyond traditional hospital care to include the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, the Center for Discovery and Innovation, and a robust network of urgent care and rehabilitation centers. This integrated ecosystem allows them to provide a complete continuum of care, from advanced research and education to community-based wellness programs, ensuring that high-quality healthcare is accessible to millions of residents across the region.
