News from Atlantic Health Systems

Atlantic Health System announced that the National Cancer Institute (NCI) has designated Atlantic Health as a National Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) site of the Atlantic Health Cancer Consortium (AHCC). As the first and only New Jersey-based NCORP, AHCC will help develop and implement NCI cancer prevention, screening, care delivery and treatment studies with leading health care systems across the state.

Each of Atlantic Health’s six hospitals earned the “LGBTQ Health Care Equality Leader” designation and a top score of 100 on the Healthcare Equality Index (HEI) from the Human Rights Campaign. 
This is the second consecutive year Morristown, Overlook, Newton, Chilton and Hackettstown medical centers and Goryeb Children’s Hospital earned this designation. 

Atlantic Health’s pediatric rehabilitation and physical therapy program has reopened in a new space at 55 Madison Avenue in Morristown. Larger than the previous center and filled with state-of-the-art therapy equipment, the open-gym facility is able to treat a wide variety of physical and developmental concerns, ranging from smaller injuries like sprained ankles to ongoing mobility therapy for conditions including cerebral palsy, genetic disorders and muscular dystrophy.
