Healthcare in Madison

Madison is home to many physicians, surgeons, dentists and healthcare providers, all practicing with the latest equipment and scientific health information. Alternative medicines are represented as well with the growing chiropractic, acupuncture, massage and stress relief businesses in town. Renowned assisted-living centers are also located within the area, including Sunrise, Brighton Gardens, Castle, Juniper and Care One. Madison also has a wide variety of local nursing homes that service the needs of residents.

Children and adults alike are well served through programs and fitness at the Madison YMCA and the Madison Senior Center, offering a wide variety of activities that benefit Madison’s senior population. The town is also home to the popular “Mayor’s Wellness Campaign,” the Rose City Steppers walking group, and “Healthy Kids America Days” created by Hollenbach Family Chiropractic and sponsored by a multitude of local businesses.

The Madison Health Department services the needs of town residents and other local communities through senior health services and special exams and health information days. The Madison Volunteer Ambulance Corp provides excellent (and speedy) assistance in handling at-home emergencies and transporting patients to and from the various healthcare facilities.

Madison is also conveniently serviced by three of the finest, and ever-expanding, medical facilities in northern New Jersey —Morristown Memorial Hospital, Overlook Hospital and St. Barnabas Medical Center. Almost all of the important medical specialties are handled by these three hospitals, including cardiology, oncology and pediatrics, with links to world-class medical centers in New York City.

Morristown Memorial Hospital was designated as a Magnet Hospital for Excellence in Nursing Service. Its cardiac surgery program was recently rated number four among all U.S. cardiac surgery hospitals by AARP. The cancer care program includes radiation therapies that only two other U.S. hospitals can offer, and a new hospital building has been built on the campus, where kids can be treated like kids.

Overlook Hospital is nationally recognized for its emergency department and is one of five New Jersey hospitals approved to provide emergency angioplasty in a community hospital setting. With the state’s first combined PET/CT scanner and stereotactic radiosurgery cancer treatment program, the hospital continually demonstrates the ability to stay at the forefront of technology. A new Neuroscience Institute offers brain tumor and epilepsy programs as well as neurointerventional radiology.

St. Barnabas Medical Center and Ambulatory Care Center provides treatment and services for more than 300,000 outpatient visits annually. It’s ranked among the top five percent of all hospitals in the country and is a recent recipient of the HealthGrades Distinguished Hospital award for excellence in clinical, cardiac, stroke, maternity, and women’s health medicine. The center also includes the only certified burn treatment facility in the state, a world-class cardiac surgery program, a leading Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and one of the largest Radiation Oncology programs in northern New Jersey.
