Morristown Medical Center continued its decade-long streak, maintaining an “A” grade every cycle since Fall 2015. Overlook Medical Center also continued its strong performance, upholding its “A” record dating back to Spring 2021.
Atlantic Health CentraState Medical Center, while not yet at the top tier, was recognized for “significant strides,” earning a “B” as it continues improving under the system’s leadership.
“Atlantic Heath’s unwavering commitment to quality and safety is our promise to patients, and we are proud to see it reflected in this national recognition,” said Saad Ehtisham, president and CEO of Atlantic Health. “Thank you to every physician, nurse, caregiver, and team member across our system, who each play an integral role in creating healing environments where patient wellbeing is always the top priority.”
