Ocean City Healthcare

Area residents can take comfort in the high quality healthcare available in our southern New Jersey communities. Shore Memorial Hospital, located in Somers Point, is a licensed 296-bed, acute care community hospital with the most sophisticated technology and skilled caregivers available.

During the past 10 years, Shore Memorial has invested over $125 million setting the standard for high quality healthcare in the region and providing progressive services in Emergency Medicine, Pediatric, Maternity and Critical Care, and in three centers of excellence: Cancer, CardioVascular and Neuroscience. Shore Memorial Neuroscience Center has adopted stroke treatment guidelines for administering rt-PA, the clot-busting drug, establishing the hospital as a primary stroke center, and it offers 24-hour neurology and neurosurgery. Additionally, Shore Memorial’s clinical affiliations with the University of Pennsylvania Health System and The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) provide patients and physicians with an extensive range of complementary programs including seamless access to clinical trials, research, and treatment options. The CHOP Connection at Shore provides enhanced pediatric services with round-the-clock coverage by CHOP pediatricians for newborns and pediatric patients.

For treatment of heart and vascular diseases, Shore Memorial offers university-setting cardiac services in the community hospital environment. Shore Memorial CardioVascular Institute’s clinical affiliation with the nationally renowned PENN Cardiac Care program at University of Pennsylvania-Presbyterian Hospital provides area residents access to the newest advances, techniques and clinical research in the fight against cardiovascular disease. Shore Memorial is also affiliated with the Tilton Fitness Network, which operates the Tilton Fitness Centers in Somers Point and Mays Landing. The hospital’s Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Center develops customized exercise programs in a monitored setting that transition into maintenance-level exercise plans when patients join one of these centers.

As part of the Shore Memorial Health System, Ocean Point Healthcare Center offers long-term residential care and a comprehensive subacute rehabilitation program providing a continuum of care for recovery.
