One of America’s safest hospitals
Cited as one of America’s safest hospitals by Forbes.com for the second year in a row, Mountainside is also home to more than 125 of the best physicians and dentists in the state, according to New Jersey Monthly.
As a clinical affiliate of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey – New Jersey Medical School, Mountainside Hospital values its commitment to medical education. The hospital is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and partners with nearby hospitals to offer rotations in Podiatry, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Mountainside Hospital is also one of a select group of community hospitals in New Jersey certified to perform emergency angioplasty.
As evidence of our success, last year, hospital admissions increased by 5%, outpatient surgeries by 14% and infant births by 46%.
We’re on the move
Upcoming projects include two hyperbaric wound care chambers, a perinatal services unit for the diagnosis and treatment of “at risk” pregnancies to complement a recently established neonatal services unit; expansion of our busy Dialysis Center; and creation of a Gero-Psychiatric program to address the needs of elderly patients with diseases that result in dementia and cognitive impairment.
