Our hospital is located in Montclair, NJ and our family health center is located in Verona, NJ, about 3 miles from the hospital. Montclair's slogan is "Where the Suburbs meets the city!" Montclair is located about 12 miles (19 km) away from New York City and many parts of the town provide excellent views of the NYC skyline. The population is about 38,000, but despite its relatively small size, Montclair has many art venues, theaters and award-winning restaurants. The Montclair art Museum is located in the heart of the town. A wide range of films are shown in town, from Hollywood to Indies. In 2011, Montclair hosted the Montclair Health Festival, which was extremely successful, drawing well known filmmakers to disuses their art and films. There are also several live theaters in the community for plays, musicals, concerts and other events. The school system is excellent. The town is somewhat unique in its attractiveness to both single and young families. Most of our graduates choose to stay in the Northern New Jersey area, reflecting the quality of life they find here.
