Our care team, as part of Hackensack Meridian Health Medical Group and Hackensack Meridian Health Jersey Shore University Medical Center, provides the community with the most advanced surgical capabilities unavailable at any other trauma facility in the region. Over the last 25 years, our facility has treated over 30,000 trauma patients in Monmouth and Ocean counties and has significantly decreased mortality resulting from traumatic injuries. We have increased the number of patients we save, despite their life-threatening injuries; many, who have returned to full, functional and productive lives.

We provide the community with a full-service team of trauma surgeons, fully equipped to handle any patient at any time. We are certified by the American College of Surgeons and are supported by a multidisciplinary team of physicians, magnet nurses, and experienced technicians 24/7 offering:

• 24-hour immediate coverage by trauma surgeons and critical care intensivists, as well as specialists in orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, pediatric surgery, cardiac surgery, anesthesiology, and emergency medicine.
• an interventional radiology suite where procedures can be performed immediately
• dedicated, state-of-the-art high-speed CT scanner to accommodate immediate full body scans when timing is critical
• helipad to accommodate life-saving air medical transportation
• dedicated floor with nationally-certified nurses

All of these elements ensure that trauma patients will receive expert care by our Level II Trauma Center team.
