Palisades Medical Center is one of 18 hospitals in the Hackensack Meridian Health Network. The not-for-profit medical center features a 197-bed hospital.
Located on the Hudson River waterfront in North Bergen, N.J., Hackensack Meridian Palisades Medical Center has and continues to meet the changing healthcare needs of Hudson and Southern Bergen counties, serving a population of more than 450,000. The 197-bed not-for-profit medical center focuses on providing quality expert care in a safe environment. The hospital has recently earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from the Leapfrog Group’s most recent review, the only hospital in Hudson County with three consecutive A’s.
The hospital has been going through an exciting revitalization, attracting additional expert, fellowship-trained surgeons who specialize in minimally invasive surgery and other specialties. As a result of the hospital’s recent capital, clinical, and personnel investments, the hospital's interior spaces have been reimagined to enhance the patient experience. Renovations include new flooring, remodeling of the main hospital lobby and a brand new multi-specialty suite, and a urology office, in the medical office building, creating spaces that promote comfort, quality, and clinical excellence. Plans are underway for the construction of a new, state-of-the-art Emergency Department.
