At Hackensack Meridian Health, we know the pandemic may have caused you to delay care. But when it comes to health emergencies, it’s important not to delay longer.  We’ve implemented safety protocols to protect you in our Emergency Departments. Delaying care could put you at risk of serious complications, or even death, especially when you have symptoms of a heart attack, stroke, adnominal pain or other serious illnesses. Learn about warning signs that may warrant a trip to the emergency department.
