in hundreds of women making their health a top priority.

October is also a great time to think about protecting
1:22
yourself from this year's flu season.
1:25
Here are some important tips for the upcoming season.
1:27
First up, only the injectable
1:30
flu shot is recommended this year.
1:33
Now, it takes about two weeks for your body
1:34
to be protected once you get the vaccine,
1:37
so get it as soon as it's available.
1:40
Now, nearly everyone six months of age
1:42
and older should get the vaccine
1:45
and some kids may need multiple doses.
1:47
Parents, you can find out which kids those are
1:50
by following your child's doctor's advice.
1:53
Thank you to Dr. Christina Gagliardo from
1:55
Goryeb Children's Hospital for sharing these crucial tips.
1:58
AtlantiCast.org has even more details.
2:01
Atlantic Health System Children's Health
2:03
is committed to giving every child the
2:05
best possible family-centered care.
2:08
And that care is now found at two brand new facilities.
2:12
First, some outpatient services previously located at
2:15
Goryeb Children's Hospital have a new location
2:17
right across the street at 55 Madison Avenue in Morristown.
2:22
The new space has free parking, a lactation room
2:25
and waiting room designed for
2:26
everyone from babies to young adults.
2:30
And Chilton Medical Center is proud to announce
2:32
its new Children's Center opening this month,
2:35
featuring a combined pediatric emergency department
2:38
and an inpatient care unit.
2:40
Families are going to have one family-friendly
2:43
facility to meet all of their needs.
2:45
Access to pediatric specialists at
2:47
Goryeb Children's Hospital will be available too.
2:50
Atlantic Health System is committed to building
2:52
healthier communities by offering
2:53
the latest in healthcare technology to all of our patients.
2:58
What you're looking at is the most
2:59
advanced MRI available today and patients
3:03
at Overlook Medical Center are
3:04
the first in the world to use it.
3:06
The 3 Tesla MRI adapts to the shape
3:09
of any body part and it produces
3:11
ultrafine images with greater accuracy and speed.
3:15
Now the wide opening on the MRI and free breathing ability
3:19
gives patients more room and comfort.
3:22
Now that's gonna mean better quality scans for doctors,
3:25
fewer re-scans and better care for our patients.
3:29
Atlantic Health System is committed to helping
3:31
all of our team members reach their
3:32
fullest individual potential too.
3:35
The Leadership Development for Early Career Women Program
3:38
is part of a partnership with Rutgers University.
3:41
The six-month training course
3:42
ended with a recent panel discussion,
3:44
where aspiring women had a chance to learn
3:46
from their peers and mentors in leadership.
3:49
Every woman who finished the course
3:51
developed their own career plan with goals
3:53
and specific ways to achieve them.
3:56
Congrats to all of them.
3:58
And finally we'd like to recognize another
4:01
special moment that matters here at Atlantic Health System.
4:03
We want to send a huge shout-out to four specific people,
4:07
Michelle McGrogin, Debra Lucitorto,
4:09
Hannah Truncalli, and Patricia Dunn.
4:12

4:13
Foundation at Chilton Medical Center.
4:15
They went down to Eva's Village in Paterson not too long ago
4:18
to serve meals to folks in need.
4:20
The four served lunch to more than 180 people, amazing work.
4:26

4:28
healthier communities in so many different ways.
