We were also the first hospital in New Jersey certified by The Joint Commission as an Advanced Comprehensive Stroke Center.

The rate at which we get patients the clot-busting drug known as tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is among the quickest in New Jersey thanks to telestroke technology, which allow us to start diagnosis and treatment in the ambulance.
